== Usage ==
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.
Do not use this template on new uploads — see {{tl|EDFM image information}}.


<pre>{{Screenshot license}}</pre>
The outer notice uses the <code>noexcerpt</code> class so maintenance/editorial
 
text is excluded from article excerpts and Page Previews.
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.

Deprecated. Use {{EDFM image information}} instead, under a separate == Summary == section — keep licensing in its own == Licensing == section via {{License-ED screenshot}} rather than the combined notice this template used to render. See Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Image Use Policy. This template predates EDFM's licensing system and is kept only so old links/history aren't broken; it isn't used on any file page.

Usage

Do not use this template on new uploads — see {{EDFM image information}}.

The outer notice uses the noexcerpt class so maintenance/editorial text is excluded from article excerpts and Page Previews.
