== Usage ==
The recommended all-in-one template for an ordinary ''Elite Dangerous'' gameplay screenshot — cropped Engineer headshots, ship renders, facilities, UI elements, locations, and so on. Add it directly to the file description at upload time (or after, on the <code>File:</code> page). It records the useful metadata '''and''' automatically includes the same Frontier attribution/non-CC notice as {{tl|License-ED screenshot}} — no need to also paste legal wording by hand, and no need to separately pick a Licensing dropdown option (leaving it on "no license selected" is fine when this template is used).

<pre>
{{Elite Dangerous screenshot
|description = Professor Palin portrait/headshot
|subject = Professor Palin
|captured_by = CMDR Example
|capture_date = 2026-08-08
|game_version = Live
|location = Abel Laboratory, Arque
|source = In-game screenshot
|notes = (optional)
}}
</pre>

'''Fields:'''
* <code>description</code> — what the image shows, in a sentence.
* <code>subject</code> — the specific Engineer/ship/location/UI element/etc. pictured.
* <code>captured_by</code> — the contributor's commander name or handle. Leaving this out flags the file into [[:Category:Files missing source information]] rather than silently crediting nobody.
* <code>capture_date</code> — when the screenshot was taken (not when it was uploaded, if different).
* <code>game_version</code> — e.g. "Live", "Legacy", or a specific named update if relevant.
* <code>location</code> — in-game system/body/facility/station shown, where applicable; omit for UI-only screenshots.
* <code>source</code> — defaults to "In-game screenshot"; only override for an edge case (e.g. a cropped/annotated version of another contributor's original capture — say so here).
* <code>notes</code> — optional, anything else worth recording (e.g. "annotated to highlight X").
