Sythan: New: per-image licensing/attribution block for File description pages

2026-08-07T23:46:29Z

New: per-image licensing/attribution block for File description pages

New page

<dl>
<dt>Source</dt><dd>{{{source|In-game screenshot}}}</dd>

Standard licensing/attribution block for a '''File description page''' (i.e. the page for the image itself, at <code>File:Name.png</code>) — distinct from {{tl|Screenshot caption}}, which is the short inline caption shown '''under an image on an article page'''. Use this one on the file page at upload time; use {{tl|Screenshot caption}} wherever the image is actually displayed in an article.

<pre>{{Screenshot license}}</pre>

All four fields default to the standard values for an ordinary in-game screenshot and don't need to be set. Override only when something is genuinely different:
* <code>|source=</code> — default "In-game screenshot"; override for an original diagram/graphic (e.g. "Original diagram, not a screenshot").
* <code>|captured_by=</code> — default "EDFM contributor"; override with a specific commander name/handle if the uploader wants attribution.
* <code>|game=</code> — default "Elite Dangerous"; override only if this is ever used for a different game mode/product (e.g. "Elite Dangerous: Odyssey" if that distinction matters for a specific image).

"Underlying assets" is not a parameter — see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Legal and Trademark Notice]] for why every screenshot on this wiki carries the same Frontier Developments plc assets notice.
