Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Art Photo/doc.

Syntax #1: for artworks with metadata on Wikidata

A single template for metadata about photographs of artworks, mostly 3D artworks, like sculptures, figures, archeological artifacts, etc. but also for other artworks in case we want to provide information about the photographer. It combines {{Artwork}} template, used for information about the artwork, and the {{Photograph}} template used for information about the photograph. This template is particularly convenient for artworks with metadata on Wikidata, as it only required Wikidata item ID and photographer information.

Usage

{{Art Photo
 |wikidata          =
 |artwork license   =
 |photo description =
 |photo date        =
 |photographer      =
 |source            =
 |photo license     =
 |other_versions    =
}}

Use instead of {{Information}} or {{Artwork}}
