This page is highly confusing. Despite what its name and the grey box below suggest, it is neither:
  • the documentation page for the Template:SVG created with page;
  • nor specific to SVG. Despite this page's name and its heavy focus on SVG validity, several of the templates documented here can be used with non-SVG files.

It is also poorly written and related to multiple other complicated templates.

The Template:SVG created with page was never used and is now a mere redirect to another template (redirect which should surely be deleted). However, this subpage remains very used by multiple documentation pages.

This page is in fact both:

  1. a meta-template used to generate the documentation for tens of templates. A typical example of such templates is {{Created with Inkscape}}, which invokes this page to generate extensive documentation with a call of just 1 or 2 lines of code.
  2. the documentation page for that meta-template (#1).
The second green box corresponds to #2. Do not be confused by the first green box, which merely gives an idea of what the resulting documentation may look like, without documenting the template you are currently viewing. Chealer (talk) 20:13, 19 September 2024 (UTC)


Ignore the following grey box, which is wrong.

This subpage contains documentation, categories, or other content that is not part of the template.
To view the template page itself, see Template:SVG created with.

Used to mark an image file
As its name indicates, this template was originally designed to identify the software (application, in most cases) used to create the file, but its role has since largely expanded. It now displays a horizontal (usually grey) box describing the file, potentially specifying its author, and controls its categorization.

This template may or may not display another box about SVG validity in some cases. When that validity box displays, it is first.

Usage

{{SVG created with ... |err= |topic= }}

This template unifies the documentation of the templates categorized in the SVG created with ... templates category. To test changes to this template, you can use SVG created with/doc/sandbox.

The documentation generated by this meta-template can be customized using the following parameters:

◾ |desc= any description of the template, if different from default
◾ |addinf= additional information for "Relies on"
◾ |shortkey= sort key, e.g. template name without "Created with"
Default is the value of |shorthand=
◾ |shorthand= any redirects to the template
◾ |shorttext= any additional text to |shorthand=
◾ |redirects= 0 one or more names of redirects
◾ |igen= abbreviation used by the template {{Image generation}}
◾ |catnam= if category names differ from template name
◾ |cattext= any additional text following categories
◾ |n= (=yes) if category "PNG created with ..." should exist[clarification needed]
◾ |descname= replace the BASEPAGENAME in description
◾ |c_t= if set to "X", the category name starts with "extracted" instead of "created" (with).
◾ |sub= text or (=n) if no subcategorization should be possible
◾ |top= default for the documented template's |topic= parameter
◾ |topic= If set to "no", suppresses the suggestion of the the documented template's |topic= parameter[clarification needed]
◾ |sandbox= e.g. "yes" if a sandbox exists
◾ |vopttext= SVG validity: when set to any value (like yes), shows s as an option for parameter #2. When set to un, adds a predefined text about unspecified validity.
◾ No longer used by this meta-template. However, it remains an alias for the |vopt= parameter of the documented templates.
◾ |vdef= default value for parameter #2 (e.g. "n" or "v")
◾ |vstyle= SVG validity: default value for the documented template's |vstyle= parameter (e.g. "fl")
◾ |code= (1, 2 or 3) if the file description should display source code(s)[clarification needed]
◾ |codetext= any additional text when |code=
◾ |vtext= alternative description for the documented template's |vtext= parameter
◾ |inval= SVG validity: When set to any value (e.g. "no"), the documented template's documentation does not display categories for invalid files as potential categories
◾ |unspec= SVG validity: When set to any value (e.g. "no"), the documented template's documentation does not display categories for files with unspecified validity as potential categories
◾ |I= (Upper case "i"): some description for parameter |IMPORTANT=[clarification needed]
◾ |w1= Relative width for the first (left) column of the examples table, as a percentage; default=37
◾ |w2= Relative width for the second (right) column of the examples table, as a percentage; default=63
◾ |I18dot= e.g. "yes": uses internationalization subtemplates from "Created with ..."
"yes" is now assumed default - use "no" to display the old subtemplates
