Please give full information for the date, source and author fields. The date of a photograph must be when the original photograph was created, and not the date of upload, nor the date of any scan or other derivative action. If the photographic image has been modified please give author, date and license for each modification. Please use template Template:Tl if the image is of a painting, sculpture or other artwork and Template:Tl if the image is a part of a complete set of page scans of a book (or in the case of DjVu and PDF, one file may comprise all the pages).
This template is used to provide formatting to the basic information for files (file content, license, authorship information etc.). This template is automatically inserted by the JavaScript-aided upload tool too.

Recommendations
For many media it is desirable to use a geocoding template in addition to the Information template.
Microformat
This template also emits an hCalendar microformat marking the creation of the image as an event. To do this, it requires the Template:Tl template, and takes the file name as the "summary" property. Optionally, it can include the Template:Tl as an attendee and an hCard microformat, and use the contents of Template:Tl as the hCalendar's "description" property. Coordinates may be included by use of Template:Tl or Template:Tl.
