TODO
Create an Array for multiple files, if the screenshots contains more than one file depicted, instead, the template will add multiple instances of commons-files and commons-files-license, up to 5 (five).
This template will add CC BY-SA 3.0 (and a GFDL 1.2 or later) license to a screenshot of a Wikimedia project (e.g., Wikipedia). The image is added to categories CC-BY-SA-3.0, GFDL, GPL, and Wikimedia screenshots, and a (hidden) machine readable license indicates "screenshot".
Also, if the screenshot contains any pictures depicted there, you Should credit them by adding the link to the file and its license (as an alternative, you can credit them in the "Source" section at the "Information" template).
Notice that if you taken a screenshot of any Wikipedia that allows Fair use, and the screenshot contains any non-free picture depicted (uploaded locally and tagged as Fair use), you shouldn't upload the screenshot to Commons, even if the main subject is the browser or tool rather than the Wikipedia screenshot itself.
If the screenshot contains one or more files, input each of them in every commons-filesX parameter (this template accepts up to 4 files due to technical limitations), with the prefix File: without the double brackets ([[<file>]]).
