This is a documentation subpage for Template:Photo cc-by-sa-4.0. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
This template is intended for use as a way to show a single photo and provide a basic set of details, including the author, date taken, coordinates etc. It is ONLY for photos using the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence.
It also provides a space to write about the photo in greater detail. It is designed to be a showcase for photos that best portray a particular subject. Its function is similar to that of a file page but without the additional information such as file history, file usage and metadata, which can make a page look clunky.
Copy and paste the syntax below into your page and fill out the parameters as necessary.
{{Photo |image = <!--file name without [[File: ]]--> |image-size = <!--should automatically resize to the page--> |image-alt = |image-caption = |drop-cap = <!--the first letter of the text--> |text = <!--the write up about the photo--> |author = |date-taken = |camera = |place-name = |coordinates = {{osm3|1= |2= |3= }} |zoom = <!--map zoom level - about 15 is good--> |os-grid = <!--Ordnance Survey National Grid reference--> |w3w = <!--the what3words address--> |elevation = |view-direction = <!--compass point templates--> }}
View direction uses a predefined set of compass arrows to give an approximate direction of view. Use this table of compass direction points to get the template syntax for each of the 16 compass points.
