Consider also using the following specific derivation templates, for retouching and extracting or cropping:
- {{Retouched picture}}
- {{Extracted from}}/{{Image extracted}}
- {{Attrib}} or the deprecated version {{AttribSVG}}

For mere conversions to SVG:
- {{AutVec}} - ("authors of vectorized raster graphic")
Colon
The template finishes its display with a new line; when the template is used just to display the text, like
{{ Derived from }} - This file was derived from:
which will not be appropriate if continuation in the same line is required;
the new line can be avoided by using a colon instead of the missing user name, e.g.
{{ Derived from | by = : }}{{ F | Example.svg }}{{ By | example }}<br> - This file was derived from: Example.svg by example
without inbetween spaces; a final new line can be forced manually, as shown, or by passing "br" as a second parameter to {{By}}.
