This template has five variables:
- 1 is the subject. It can be a descriptive sentence or two about what's in the image, or even a mere link to the subject that's pictured.
- 2 is the source or the game, such as an external link to where you originally found the image. If not, you can use this parameter to indicate the game the picture came from.
- 3 is the artist, if you know who made it (maybe yourself).
- 4 is "edited". If the image has been altered from the original, describe the modifications.
- 5 is "other versions". If there is another image on the same subject, try to link to it using [[:File:Filename.ext]].
To use some but not all of these variables, use, for example, something like this:
{{aboutfile|2=external link|3=[[User:Artist|Artist]]|5=[[:File:Otherone.png]]}}
The first two variables are the most commonly used ones, however, and they can simply be entered like this:
{{aboutfile|summary|external link}}
While use of this template is optional for image summaries, it is recommended. The preloaded coding now automatically appears when uploading a file. It should either be formatted correctly, or removed before uploading. Otherwise, it would look like Template:Plainlink. If a user repeatedly uploads files without correctly formatting aboutfile, a {{Reminder}} or {{Aboutfile-reminder}} should be issued.
