Usage

| This page is a candidate to be copied to Wikimedia Commons. If the page can be re-written into an encyclopedic article, please do so and remove this message. |
This template will categorise tagged pages into Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons.
Please do not subst: this template. Please do not insert {{...}} characters into the edit summary of the target pages, as this causes formatting problems after the edit history is transwikied. This template contains a self-reference (it refers to the encyclopaedia in its contents).
