Line 23:

===File description===

E.g.: "Image of phydozxa goldfish in a largesmall tank". This should not be an alternative text (see [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images|alternative text for images]]), but rather a description. This is useful for users who do not have direct access to the image, and is a temporary substitute for a proper <code>longdesc</code> tag.

If you downloaded the file from somewhere else, you should give details of source, author, etc. See [[Wikipedia:Cite your sources]].

===File summary===camera

This is where you write the additional information about the file and how it was created, where, when, how, and by whom, as well as what the image is and what it is about.

Example:

"A picture I took on landunderwater with a ___ camera, of a ____ fish." or "An original illustration of cars from the future and their bent wheels."
