This documentation is transcluded from Template:Overwritten revdel/doc.

Used to tag files in order to ask administrators to delete a specific revision of the file that has been uploaded in violation of Commons:Overwriting existing files. Such revisions are typically copyright violations (and even if they are the overwriter's own work, there is normally no licensing statement for the specific revision), so history splitting is hardly ever a viable option. Consensus for this tag was reached in Special:Permalink/337996629#Speedy revision deletion tag for overwritten files.

The template automatically sets the following categories: Overwritten files requiring revision deletion

Usage

{{Overwritten revdel}}

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.


Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
