Template

This template has five variables:

  • 1 is the subject. It can be a descriptive sentence or two about what's in the image, or even a mere link to the subject that's pictured.
  • 2 is the source, such as an external link to where you originally found the image.
  • 3 is the artist, if you know who made it (maybe yourself).
  • 4 is "edited". If the image has been altered from the original, describe the modifications.
  • 5 is "other versions". If there is another image on the same subject, try to link to it using [[:File:File.ext]].

To use some but not all of these, use, e.g, something like this:
   {{aboutfile|2=external link|3=[[User:Artist|Artist]]|5=[[:File:Otherone.png]]}}
The first two variables are the most commonly used ones, however, and they can simply be entered like this:
   {{aboutfile|summary|external link}}

While this template is optional for image summaries, it works very well and its use is encouraged.
