Template:Image ref

This template is for experts only and shall make it easier to create image references for moving an image caption in the style used by Template:Flickr_image to the footnotes section of a page. You can use this template together with Template:Flickr_image, Template:Flickr_image_xhtml_1.0_strict or just [..] kind of image placement. Please see the Help page on Adding images for a fuller explanation of how to use template Template:Flickr_image. The benefit is a page design which is free from image captions except the small footnote hint. Of course a page using this kind of image documentation (caption, attribution) need a references section. Small disadvantage: Other references will be mixed with the image references. Therefoe an advantage: The link to the license explanation is not texted "image rights" as necessary for briefness in Template:Flickr_image, but the whole header of the image rights explanation page appears in the footnotes, for example "image used with permission, all rights reserved" (this is also the default rights attribution here! So be cautious to choose the right allowed image license abbreviation.) Sample application if template: see page Canon.

cut & paste code with combined Template:Flickr_image:

{{Flickr_image
|image_source= 
|image= 
|image_align= 
|image_text= <ref>{{image_ref 
|image_text= 
|image_by= 
|image_rights= 
}}</ref>}}

Example and tricky variation

(should be) achieved with

{{Flickr_image_xhtml_1.0_strict
|image_source= http://www.flickr.com/photos/53848489@N05/5277025936/in/pool-camerawiki/
|image= http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5125/5277025936_6c4c6c0ce9_m.jpg
|image_align= center
|image_text= <ref>{{image_ref 
|image_text= Camera image example
|image_by= Laurie.pettitt
|image_rights= with permission
}}</ref>}}
 
{{Flickr_image_xhtml_1.0_strict

<REFERENCES/>

You see the trick is that the image_text attribute of the {{image_ref}} can be omitted in favor of a short caption text before the template call in the Flickr_image template's image_text attribute.
