Until then, fair use is assumed.

Info

This template should be used for all files on the "Files:" namespace. It presents some information about the file, both in terms of content and metadata. It also automatically categorizes the image.

Parameters

Parameter Mandatory Purpose Default Detailed description
summary Yes File summary A brief explanation of what the image or sound is; what it contains, and what it is used for.
type Yes Content type What type of content this is. This will automatically determine some other things. Can be one of the following:
  • screenshot: Media screenshot.
  • boxart: Box art.
  • artwork: Artwork.
  • concept: Concept art.
  • texture: Game texture.
  • audio: Game audio.
  • logo: Logo.
  • map: Map, either in-game or fan-made.
  • icon: Icon.
  • merch: Merchandise image.
  • promo: Promotional material.
  • real: Real world image.
  • user: User image.
  • wiki: Image for use in Pikipedia itself.
game No Game The game this file is about (or the Short Movies). Can be one of the following:
  • p1 - p4: Pikmin to Pikmin 4.
  • hp: Hey! Pikmin.
  • pb: Pikmin Bloom.
  • npcp1 - npcp2: The New Play Control! titles.
  • p3d: Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
  • pa: Pikmin Adventure.
  • ssbb: Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
  • ssb4: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
  • ssbu: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
  • psm: Pikmin Short Movies.
  • other: A non-Pikmin game.
version No Software version Version of the software that the screenshot is from, if applicable. This can be the number version, or platform (e.g. Android or iOS for Pikmin Bloom).
location No Location In-game location that this file pertains to. Write the full name of the area, but if it's in a cave or in a level exclusive to an alternative game mode, do not fill this in. Files with no license set (automatically or otherwise) get categorized in Category:Files with no license.
source No File source If this file was created by the user, type "self". If it was obtained off a website, type its URL here, formatted or not.
license No License If it cannot be deduced automatically from the content type, the license must be added here. This is the same parameter you would feed into {{license}}.
nocat No No categorization If this has a value, like "y", then the template will not automatically categorize the file.
