Place this template on any media file which lacks description, author information, date, or any other less-that-critical identification data. Any media bearing this template are automatically added to Category:Wikipedia files lacking a description, which is a subcategory of Category:Images for cleanup.

Media files which lack critical identification data must not be tagged with this template; instead, they must be tagged with {{di-no source}}, {{di-no license}}, etc. for speedy-deletion.
