I've been adding a few templates so that images can have their information noted more formally, and those who
wish/require their images to be protected, can.
Firstly, there's an information box that can be used when uploading images. I understand that it can be a bit of a PITA to fill this out every time, but I reckon it would be useful to know where stuff originated from.
Code: Select all
{{Information
|Description= <description of the image>
|Source= <where the image came from>
|Date= <when the image was created (yyyy-mm)>
|Author= <who the author of the image is>
|Permission= <what the permissions of use are for the image>
|other_versions= <any other variants of the image>
}}
There's a template that will add "[[Category:Puzzle Images]]"... maybe a bit easier to remember and need less typing?
Licenses... I've added a bunch of common popular licences, although more can be added if needed, particularly the Creative Commons ones
Code: Select all

{{cc-by-2.5}} - see below
{{cc-by-3.0}} - see below
