Template:Information Art of Life/doc
This template is used to structure the metadata used by the Art of Life project of the Biodiversity Heritage Library. We (the Art of Life developers) plan to eventually use this template to automatically move images from BHL into the Wikimedia Commons directly, but for now we hope that it can be used to fully describe natural history illustrations and images in the Commons. We also plan to develop other templates which will closely integrate with existing natural history organization schemes on the Commons, such as Category:Phylogenetic tree of life.
Examples of images using this template are available on this template's gallery page; to see a complete list of images using this template, use this link.
