How to use??[edit]

I have identified a file that should be tagged as belonging to the Dutch National Archive (here) but after looking at this page I have no idea how to apply or even identify what template to use! This is one of those things that makes Commons so obtuse for even experienced users! I KNOW there is a template, and I KNOW this image should be tagged with it, but after looking at this page I have NO idea where to find it or what it looks like. It seems like this information should be more visually available that it is here somehow. Surely someone must have some suggestions for improving this accordingly, yes? I hope?

Incorrect instructions[edit]

@John Cummings and Jason.nlw: I applaud your effort to add instructions, but these aren't really correct. You should probably base it of a recent template so you end up with the right multilingual template with the right layout. You would have to create it in this order:

  1. Template:Wiki Loves Monuments 2018/layout
  2. Template:Wiki Loves Monuments 2018/en
  3. Template:Wiki Loves Monuments 2018/lang (with {{subst:lle}}}}
  4. Template:Wiki Loves Monuments 2018/doc
  5. Template:Wiki Loves Monuments 2018

That way you create a template that confirms with the requirements. Multichill (talk) 12:10, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I’d say that example is also somewhat out of date − something like {{Swiss National Library}} is closer IMO to the current best practice :)
Some time ago I made {{GLAM partnership}} to try to simplify the setup − with it, one needs just two subpages:
  1. Template:Fonds André Cros - Archives municipales de Toulouse
  2. Template:Fonds André Cros - Archives municipales de Toulouse/i18n
  3. Template:Fonds André Cros - Archives municipales de Toulouse/doc

Thanks for the suggestions @Multichill: and @Jean-Frédéric: , I don't really understand, do you mean the instructions are incorrect or that the examples are out of date. Could you change them how they should be? John Cummings (talk) 15:27, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Split up this page and add missing ones[edit]

@Jean-Frédéric: This page is missing quite a few partnership templates. Would be nice to add the missing ones. That would make this page a lot larger. Maybe split it up by year the partnership started and only show the last year on this page? Multichill (talk) 12:12, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
