Template talk:Better source requested

Comments

I'd like to consider changing the text of this template to read:-

"This image has source information, but it either links directly to the image or is a generic base URL, is not an Internet source for an image that was likely found on the Internet, or is a screen capture obtained from an unofficial source.

Better source information should be provided so that the copyright status can be verified by others. It is requested that a better source be provided to make determination of the copyright information easier. Please provide a URL to an HTML page that contains this image. See Wikipedia:Citing sources#Images for more information."

This is so that the template and the associated request it makes is also able to cover screenshot's obtained from forums/You Tube etc..

Policy?

This template does not appear to be backed by policy. The entire Citing Sources page does not discuss images, and all the ones I have found do not specify whether the source is the page or the file. Wikimedia Commons does this, but we don't. — trlkly 08:29, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Citing sources#Images does not exist at this time. --Itu (talk) 11:50, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

:The page {{mono|Wikipedia:Citing sources}} does exist, but there isn't a section titled {{mono|Images}}. However, the section titled {{mono|Multimedia}} does seem appropriate. Senator2029 “Talk” 12:43, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

:Template:Bsr → {{no redirect|Template:Better source requested}} – Expand acronym * Pppery * it has begun... 13:48, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

  • Support. This is the type of acronym change I've been trying to get done to other templates as well. Primefac (talk) 14:01, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Conditional support as long as the old name is kept around indefinitely as a redirect, a la {{tl|ill}} and other "save me from typing" template redirects. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:44, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
  • :That is almost always the case. I see no reason to not have the redirect available. Primefac (talk) 16:18, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Support makes sense. – SD0001 (talk) 16:53, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
  • All inscrutables should be named something meaningful. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 01:10, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
