New: all-in-one metadata + licensing template for ordinary gameplay screenshots |
Fix: wrap categorization in <includeonly> -- the template page itself was being categorized as a file, not just pages that transclude it |

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). | 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.

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 File: page). It records the useful metadata and automatically includes the same Frontier attribution/non-CC notice as {{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).
{{Elite Dangerous screenshot
|description = Professor Palin portrait/headshot

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