Usage
This maintenance template is part of the Wikipedia project, not the encyclopedia proper.
It automatically adds images to Category:Images with inappropriate JPEG compression. It also includes an optional parameter to specify whether PNG or SVG is a better choice for replacement. For PNG, use {{Bad JPEG|PNG}} and for SVG use {{Bad JPEG|SVG}}.
Examples
- PNG:
 | This image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. The information it contains could be stored more efficiently or more accurately in the PNG format. If possible, please upload a PNG version of this image, derived from a non-JPEG source so that it doesn't contain any compression artifacts (or with existing artifacts removed) and with transparency where appropriate. After doing so, please replace all instances of the JPEG version throughout Wikipedia (noted under the "File links" header), tag the JPEG version with {{obsolete|NewImage.ext}}, and remove this tag.
