Fix: captured_by must not default to a generic placeholder -- it's meant to hold the actual uploader's name; missing value now visibly flagged instead
Deprecate: superseded by Template:Elite Dangerous screenshot + the new Licensing dropdown system

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|Elite Dangerous screenshot}}.
 
<pre>{{Screenshot license|captured_by=Commander name or handle}}</pre>
 
* <code>|captured_by=</code> — '''always fill this in''' with the actual uploader's commander name or handle. There is no generic default — if omitted, the file page visibly flags "Contributor name not specified" rather than silently crediting a placeholder, so a missing credit stays noticeable instead of looking answered.
* <code>|source=</code> — optional, default "In-game screenshot"; override for an original diagram/graphic (e.g. "Original diagram, not a screenshot").
* <code>|game=</code> — optional, 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 {{Elite Dangerous screenshot}} instead, together with the Licensing dropdown on Special:Upload — 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 {{Elite Dangerous screenshot}}.
