There are several images named "example": File:Example.jpg, File:Example.png, File:Example.gif and File:Example.svg. There is also the sound file File:Example.ogg. None of these files should be used in articles. The JPG image is the example inserted when a user clicks the "embedded file" or "picture gallery" buttons in the edit toolbar. Pages with that image left may be actively sought out and fixed. If you need a test image for permanent demonstration purposes, for instance in a template's documentation, then instead use for instance the PNG image. The Ogg file is the example inserted when a user clicks the "file link" button in the edit toolbar. |
This is the {{example files}} notice box.
It can be placed on the "example" file's description pages and at the top of their talk pages. It explains how and when the example files should and shouldn't be used. At least the images have constantly been confusing people, so an explanation is needed.
