This template is used to request that a portion of the image be extracted to a separate file; once created, the cropped portion can be used to set property “image” (P18) on the Wikidata item indicated.

The template automatically sets the following categories: Crop for Wikidata or Crop for Wikidata/Instructions needed

Usage

{{Crop for Wikidata |1= |2= }}

Indicate the Wikidata Q item number for which an image is sought. As a second argument, provide as much details as necessary to indicate which part of the picture needs to be extracted.

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.


Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
