I know all of that. As of now, {{Information}} is not the standard in 
the sense as it's not supposed to be used on *all* images, even those 
which are already described by a better template.

Almost all pictures representing Louvre exhibits are described with 
{{Information Louvre}}. That means more than 2,500 pictures. I know we 
have more than a million files on Commons now, but we're talking about 
2,500 pictures with name of the artist, description, medium, dimensions, 
credit line, accession number, precise location in the museum and 
correct author attribution. Using {{Information}} for those pictures 
would be a plain, simple regression.

Which is exactly what my precedent message was adressing.
