This does look helpful; but there's a couple of things to consider before we can start publicizing it: We ought to use the current Template:Flickr image format which adds its own attribution and image rights fields. While the wiki text is under copyleft, we need to help protect the copyright of photos that users kindly donated to us, e.g. when their Flickr license specifies All Rights Reserved. Even for CC-licensed photos, we want to note if the license specifies {{non-commercial}} use only.

The sample photos should use the image_source URL format http://blahblahblah/in/pool-camerawiki to encourage its use--it makes the origin of the image permissions human-readable; also I believe specifying pool membership helps stop link breakage if a Flickr non-Pro account adds >200 photos after the linked one (not conclusively tested yet). One final minor note is that it's nice to run together the words in the template fields so double-clicking will select the whole field for editing.--Vox 10:56, 22 February 2011 (PST)
