Commons:WikiProject Creator
This WikiProject is dedicated to the creation, use and maintenance of templates in the Creator namespace. All pages in that namespace should use {{Creator}} template and be used in author/artist fields of {{Painting}}/{{Information}} templates. Ideally all files of known authors claiming Public domain due to copyright expiration should use {{Creator}} template to support their claims.
Creator pages should be brief but provide handy links to relevant galleries on Commons or articles in Wikipedias, where more information can be found.
At the moment there are 61,955 {{Creator}} templates.
If you have questions regarding the use or handling of creator pages please ask on the this discussion page.
Tasks

- Internationalization of Creator pages
- Removal of auto-categorization of files by Creator pages. (see Category:Creator templates using auto-categorization)
