Why not have all the fields of Template:Information here? For example I know File:Mozilla Mascot.svg was created by Shepard Fairey, but there is nowhere I can add that.-- Svgalbertian ( talk) 17:46, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Please add 'author' and 'date' paramethers to the template. — John Biancato 16:22, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
This template and the accompanying {{ Non-free image rationale}} have "image" in their names but produce the message "Non-free media use data" and "Non-free media use rationale" respectively. Consistency in title and output would help make using them less confusing. I'm going to copy this comment to that template's talk page as well but please comment here. — Hex (❝?!❞) 08:03, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Upon further investigation, there's a problem:
The latter is, as I'm sure you're aware, a different template. The redirect to it is currently used in about 5,000 places. We should replace those 5,000 transclusions and free up the name for this template; then the "image" versions could be converted to redirects, and everything would be consistent.
Afterwards,
would need to be renamed
and the template tweaked accordingly.
I think this is uncontroversial housekeeping, so I'm looking for a bot operator to do it. — Hex (❝?!❞) 14:25, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Update: A bot run has now concluded. I'll be checking in a month's time to see who's still using the old name, and notify them of the change, then again one more time a month after that, before making the switchover. — Hex (❝?!❞) 18:53, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi.
I'd like to propose changes of
revision #658874413 of /sandbox subpage to be copied into the main template. Changes include changing three instances of <span>...</span>
into <div>...</div>
and adjusting the line breaks to allow bullet lists to be parsed correctly.
You can see the results in revision #658872442 of the /testcase page. For a good measure, I tested the changes against the Media Viewer through revisions #658875445, #658875809 and #658876293 of File:Image page sandbox.png. Well... That's all I could imagine in the way of taking precautions.

<noinclude>...</noinclude>
and everything enclosed by those, also all the <includeonly>

</td>
(and similar), would <td class="fileinfotpl_desc">...</td>
(or similar) have worked? --

Can the information and link for resizing images be added to the ==Usage== table?
Currently the "Low Resolution" portion of the table explains that file size should be less than 0.1 megapixels. What is missing are the tools, shown in other articles, that helps to determine what size to make an image to fit within the guideline. For instance in Wikipedia:Non-free content, the "Image resolution" paragraph 2.5.2 shows both the calculation necessary and provides a link to the external tool to make the required calculation.
All templates are designed to make editing easier, but currently the information necessary to comply with one is hidden elsewhere. Providing the information necessary to comply with the template, or a link to that information, in a single location seems logical.
Possible solutions.
1. Add the following (or similar) text to the "Low Resolution" row of the ==Usage== table: "To reduce the size of an image to the correct size see the "Image resolution" paragraph in the article Wikipedia:Non-free content."
2. Add the same text shown in #1 above to the ==Usage== section.
3. Provide the information in the "Low Resolution" row of the ==Usage== section. Add the following text:
4. Some combination of the the above solutions.
By providing this information here, it prevents an editor from having to go searching for the calculation or tool necessary to resize the image and also makes editing easier.
Note that some wording for proposed solution #3 and the math calculation were taken directly from the Wikipedia:Non-free content article "Image resolution" paragraphs. This was done without quotation marks to make the proposed solution easier to read.
