Nice tool Magnus. You should get Duesentrieb to incorporate it into
his Gallery tool.
I think there will be lots of older images floating about without this
template (as evidenced by my own uploads :)) but it should have
dropped pretty dramatically since we've been javascript-inserting the
template on the upload form.

I've always thought of {{information}} as little
more than a handy tool to
keep info organised and to allow quick and easy finding of info. I add it to
my original uploads just because I like the clean look and the ease of
access to the information; is it going to be more than that in the future? I
can see it being something bots go to when looking for info, etc., and it
certainly makes sense that we would want it on most images. But is this
something we should push more and ensure is added to EVERY image, regardless
of how much information is present?
Ideally we want structured, standardised data fields. If we already
have data in a somewhat standard format, switching from our current
"blob" summaries to structured data should be far easier.
I don't know when we might ever get structured data, it certainly
doesn't seem to be on the cards. 5-10 years maybe? Nonetheless, when
it ever does happen, I think we will be grateful we prepared for it
earlier. So -- yes, as it seems to be the defacto standard, I think we
should push for everyone to use it.
