If your file is a derivative work of another file on Commons, use this template to link it.

Usage

{{Derived from |1 ... 40= }}

A namespace prefix (like "File:") does not disturb.

Examples

{{ Derived from | Example.jpg | by = example }} gives
This file was derived from: Example.jpg by example

{{ Derived from | Example.jpg | Beispiel.png | display = 16 }} gives
This file was derived from:

• Example.jpg: 
• Beispiel.png: 
  

{{ Derived from | Example.jpg | Beispiel.png | Sample.svg | display = 16 | opt = l }} gives
This file was derived from:

• Example.jpg
• Beispiel.png
• Sample.svg
  

You can add up to 40 images. (Capability for more can easily be added in the template code)

This template complements {{Derivative versions}}.

Consider also using the following specific derivation templates, for retouching and extracting or cropping:

• {{Retouched picture}}
• {{Extracted from}}/{{Image extracted}}
• {{Attrib}} or the previous version {{AttribSVG}}

The counterpart:

• {{Derivative versions}}

For mere conversions to SVG:

• {{AutVec}} - ("authors of vectorized raster graphic")

Colon

The template finishes its display with a new line; when the template is used just to display the text, like
{{ Derived from }} - This file was derived from: which will not be appropriate if continuation in the same line is required; the new line can be avoided by using a colon instead of the missing user name, e.g.
{{ Derived from | by = : }}{{ F | Example.svg }}{{ By | example }}<br> - This file was derived from: Example.svg by example
without inbetween spaces; a final new line can be forced manually, as shown, or by passing "br" as a second parameter to {{By}}.

Localization
