Is there a template for images taken from the main Wikipedia? You know, like the one for the Doctor Who Image Archive? I was going to add the picture from [1] to the Weevil page, but I can't remember if there was a proper catgeory for it. Azes13 23:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

No, there's no template or category that I can find looking at the pictures on the pages of Cyberman and Dalek that were mostly copied from Wikipedia. All you'd need to do is say they were copied from Wikipedia, judging by the looks of it. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 11:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Archivist's notes

Thread's seriously out of date as there is now {{Wikipedia PD Image}} for wikipedia public domain images, the only kind of imports from wikipedia we allow. There's no point to having a template that for DW images we might get from Wikipedia, because Wikipedia isn't the source of the image. For this reason, even the DWIA template is seen these days as kinda pointless, because the person running DWIA certainly doesn't have copyright over the images he houses. At the end of the day, all images associated with televised DW are either screenshots, publicity stills or telesnaps. Theey're not wikipedia or DWIA images.
