Description

This template is used on file pages under the "Summary" heading to efficiently describe a file's information. It should only be used on file pages.

Note that the licensing is not part of this template; it should be a separate section underneath.

Syntax

Parameters

{{File
|desc =
|type =
|rationale =
|free =
|author =
|designer =
|uploader =
|source =
|archive =
|notes =
}}

• If the type is listed as "asset", then the source and archive parameters will become compulsory.
• The rationale parameter is only needed for files which use a Fair use license. For files with the "asset" or "evidence" type, the rationale will be autofilled.
  • If the asset is not fair use and therefore doesn't need a rationale, enter "yes" in the free parameter to suppress the rationale. Note that this only applies to very simple assets which are ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain.
• If the type is listed as "screenshot", the uploader parameter should be used to indicate who took the screenshot; the author refers to the copyright holder of the screenshot's content, i.e. 3AM Experiences.

TemplateData

Used to list information about a file in an organized table.

Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
desc	desc	Used to describe what the file is or what it depicts. If left blank, it will add Category:Files without a description	String	required
type	type	Refers to the type of file as documented in Module:File/data. This value is compulsory: omitting it will add Category:Files using an unknown type. Here is a list of types: 'screenshot' - for screenshots of Mope.io gameplay or in-game content 'asset' - for game files or assets derived from the game files; 'reconstructed' - for unofficial reconstructed versions of assets; 'ability' - for GIFs of special abilities in mope.io; 'administrative' - for files used behind-the-scenes by staff or for formatting; 'other' - miscellaneous file type Suggested values screenshot evidence reconstructed ability administrative other asset	Line	required
rationale	rationale	Fair use rationale for copyrighted files licensed under fair use. If the Type is listed as "asset", "screenshot", or "reconstructed", the rationale will be autofilled with a general fair use rationale based on the file type. Example This file is copyrighted media from Mope.io. It is used in a non-commercial and encyclopedic context. Its use does not impact or compete with the original work. A lower resolution substitute would compromise the file's informational value, and no free equivalent is available. Its use is believed to qualify as fair use under U.S. copyright law. [generic fair use rationale]	String	optional
free	free	If the file type is "asset" or "reconstructed", but the file is freely licensed and not fair use, this parameter can be used to suppress the rationale which automatically appears (enter "yes" in the parameter to do this). Only needed for a few basic assets which are ineligible for copyright and in the PD. Suggested values yes	Line	optional
author	author	The creator or copyright holder of the file. For essentially all Mope.io-related media, the author should be listed as "3AM Experiences". Auto value 3AM Experiences	String	optional
source	source	Where the file was sourced from, or its original link. Defaults to "Mope.io". However, if the type is listed as "asset", this parameter will become required; omitting it will add Category:Assets without a source to the file Auto value Mope.io	URL	required
archive	archive	Used to provide a URL of an asset's archived version, typically on the Wayback Machine. If the file type is listed as "asset", this parameter becomes required; omitting it will cause Category:Unarchived images to be added. If the original game file/asset URL is no longer available (appears as 404 error), you can enter "link rot" so that a message will appear saying the URL has been lost to link rot, and adding Category:Link rot	URL	optional
designer	designer	Used to display the individual from the Mope.io designer team who created a particular asset. Only suggested for files with "asset" as the type.	Line	optional
uploader	uploader	The individual or user who uploaded or created the file itself. This parameter is usually only used for screenshots.	Line	optional
notes	notes	Any other relevant information about the file, e.g. licensing terms, alternative versions, etc.	String	optional

Example usage

Note that this template is designed to not appear on non-file pages. For an example of what it actually looks like, see the example files linked just below.

Asset

The Copper Phoenix, an asset uploaded from the game files, has this description:

{{File
|desc = The main asset for the [[Phoenix|Copper Phoenix]] skin
|type = asset
|designer = {{dev|Max}}
|source = https://mope.io/assets/s/1/skins/volcano/phoenix/3/phoenix.png
|archive = https://web.archive.org/web/20250626084849/https://mope.io/assets/s/1/skins/volcano/phoenix/3/phoenix.png
}}

Output:

File information: "File"
Description	The main asset for the Copper Phoenix skin
Type	Asset extracted directly from the game files of Mope.io
Fair use rationale	This image is an unaltered asset from Mope.io, uploaded to ensure accurate documentation and commentary. It is used non-commercially for encyclopedic purposes. A lower-resolution substitute would compromise the asset's informational value, and no free equivalent is available. Its use is believed to qualify as fair use under U.S. copyright law.
Author	3AM Experiences
Designer	Max
Source	https://mope.io/assets/s/1/skins/volcano/phoenix/3/phoenix.png
Archive	https://web.archive.org/web/20250626084849/https://mope.io/assets/s/1/skins/volcano/phoenix/3/phoenix.png

Screenshot

For screenshots, the author should be whoever took the screenshot. However, the source is still "Mope.io" (autofilled) since it is from the game. The below example is from File:LeftHandedJoystick.png; the screenshot was taken by BronzeRattle.

{{File
|desc = Controls when left-handed joystick is enabled.
|type = screenshot
|uploader = {{u|BronzeRattle}}
}}

Output:

File information: "File"
Description	Controls when left-handed joystick is enabled.
Type	Screenshot of in-game content from Mope.io
Fair use rationale	This screenshot depicts in-game content from Mope.io and is used to document gameplay mechanics or events for informational and illustrative purposes. It is used non-commercially for encyclopedic purposes. There are no free alternatives, as any screenshot from Mope.io is by nature copyrighted material. Its use is believed to qualify as fair use under U.S. copyright law.
Author	3AM Experiences
Screenshot by	BronzeRattle
Source	Mope.io
