Information in new file template

I think the goal should be to make it look abit more like it does on wikipedia/wikimedia commons. Not layout, but the information available.

Licensing

In the case of anything The Sims, we should differenciate between licensing and author requests. Authors can request that you don't upload other places or that you must link to their page, but ultimately EA holds the copyright. I'm not 100% sure how we best accomplish that. One way would be to just use the appropiate Fair Use licensing tag and then have another tag below it called 'author requests', have it lists the requests and state that it's not an actual license. We could set them apart by lineskips, different colors and such. Duskey(talk) 19:45, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Categories

At the moment our MediaWiki:Community-corner says users should add all images to Images though this conflicts with the description in the category itself: Please place images in subcategories only. Images should be in at least two subcategories, one by license (using a license template) and one by content. In my opinion the images category should only be used for "I don't know where else to put it images" which can then be sorted later. What are your thoughts? Duskey(talk) 16:26, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
