Usage

Standard licensing/attribution block for a File description page (i.e. the page for the image itself, at File:Name.png) — distinct from {{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 {{Screenshot caption}} wherever the image is actually displayed in an article.

{{Screenshot license}}

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:

  • |source= — default "In-game screenshot"; override for an original diagram/graphic (e.g. "Original diagram, not a screenshot").
  • |captured_by= — default "EDFM contributor"; override with a specific commander name/handle if the uploader wants attribution.
  • |game= — 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.
