Template:Convert to SVG/doc
Lua error in Module:Autotranslate at line 72: No fallback page found for autotranslate (base=Template:Documentation subpage, lang=⧼lang⧽).
Images bearing this template are automatically added to Category:Images that should use vector graphics, a subcategory of Category:Images for cleanup. The type of the image (such as "flag", see table below) should be given as a parameter, to add the image to an appropriate sub-category (e.g. Category:Flag images that should use vector graphics). If an invalid value is specified the image defaults to "Category:Other images that should use vector graphics".

vectordata | Specify (e.g. give a URL or Wikilink) where existing vector data can be found that may help to do the vectorization. This can be an image in a different vector format (e.g. PDF, PS or EPS) but also a similar SVG that already contains parts of the image that needs to be converted. If set, the file is automatically added to Category:Images that should use vector graphics (vector data available). | empty | optional | |
