But wouldn't it be smarter to split {{Information

{{Information}} and {{Louvre}}, and use as many of the fields in Information

dumb bot could harvest some data from the image page (without knowledge about
tons of special purpose templates).
Exactly! +1. Just split out the duplicate fields. At lest then there
is exactly one uniform way to read the data which is common.
There would also be value in doing the same with narrower and narrower
sets of data ... a {{Information painting}} which has fields which
are common to all paintings but not common to all images (and optional
fields common to most),.. then {{Information Louvre}} would be left
with only those fields which are really unique to works in the louvre.
(location/catalog information).
