Commons:Templates
Templates are used to add recurring messages to pages in a consistent way, to create navigational boxes, and to provide cross-language portability of texts. The content of a template can be added to a page by typing {{templatename}}. The “Template:” prefix doesn't need to be included. The first character (only) is not case-sensitive, so {{delete}} and {{Delete}} are the same.
In the gallery namespace (also referred to as mainspace, the main namespace, or the article namespace in Wikipedia), templates exist only to help readers. These can include navigation aids and warnings that content is sub-standard. Templates that provide information only of service to editors belong on a gallery’s talk page.
If you wish to experiment with templates, you may do so in the Sandbox.

{{Rotate}} |  This image (or all images in this article or category) needs to be rotated. When rotating JPEGs by 90, 180, or 270 degrees, perform a lossless rotation using a tool such as jpegtran. For more help and a notice that the JPEG rotation cannot always be completely lossless, see Commons:Media for cleanup#Sideways pictures or pictures with noticeable camera tilt.
If the thumbnail on the right side is in the correct orientation, please just purge this image (maybe refresh your browser cache) and remove this template.  |degree=90/180/270 (clockwise) if you want Rotatebot to automatically rotate this image. (Note that this currently only works for individual images, not categories.)
