{{caution|This template should only be used on image pages.}}

== Usage ==
This [[Wikipedia:Templates|template]] is inserted on a file description page when the following conditions all meet:
# There is a file with the same name on Wikimedia Commons
# The contents of the local file and the Commons file are different
# It is desirable to resolve this naming conflict (i.e. the conflict is not one of the deliberate exceptions)

If the first condition meets but not the second, consider using {{tl|Keep local}} or {{tl|Now Commons}}, whichever is appropriate.

This template categorises tagged files into [[:Category:Wikipedia files that shadow a file on Wikimedia Commons]]. This template is a [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Self-references to avoid|self-reference]].

If the file should be kept locally (i.e. not moved to Commons) or deleted, set {{para|keeplocal|yes}}. You can optionally provide a reason to keep the file locally using {{para|reason}}.

Once the conflict is resolved, this template must either be removed from the file description page, or replaced with {{tl|Keep local}}, whichever is appropriate.
