**Motivation**
- [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Template:Information | w:en:Template:Information ]] has some rarely used extra parameters as compared to [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Information | c:Template:Information ]] ("Location" and "Additional_information").
- Upon importing files to Commons with FileExporter/FileImporter, these parameters' content should not be lost, but concatenated into one parameter.
- See discussion at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Information#Additional_informationSame goes for de-wiki with "Anmerkungen" as a field in the Information template
**Ideas**
**Wish**- Since this field needs to be filled with a special template[1], the information form the source can only be kept, when an extension of the original parameter value is possible. For that we would need to support a more complex way to parse and transfer templates and values.
Example:
- Allow to concatenate rarely used parameters into the description field or an "other fields" parameter.```{{Information|
-- e.g. concatenate `|description=` and `|additional_information=` and `|location=`.
**Ideas**Anmerkung = das Bild wurde mit einer Drohne aufgenommen
}}```
could become
```{{Information|
Other fields = {{Information field | Name = Remarks | Value = das Bild wurde mit einer Drohne aufgenommen}}
}}```

- A substitution mechanism is already used to map from one template to another. Example: [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Artwork/subst(information) | c:Template:Artwork/subst(information) ]] can be used to map from [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Information | c:Template:Information ]] to [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Artwork | c:Template:Artwork ]].
- Build a merge feature.
- Use a bot that cleans up the file description page after transfer and handles the additional parameters. (We're currently keep additional parameters in the wikitext, but they remain invisible because the Commons information template doesn't know them.)
**Acceptance Criteria**
[] It should be possible to define in the config file which other parameters are also allowed in the information template (this may also be template info as in the [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Information#Additional_information | example ]]
[] When one such parameter exists, it should be transfered to Commons (if the config file has been set up)
[] If no special parameter exists, no extra line is added
**Notes**
If the fields are empty, delete them- See the [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Information#Additional_information | information template's page on Commons ]] for more info about possible other fields.
