Definitely a good idea. There should be an announcement on the village pump and maybe a sitenotice with a link to the thread, even. Remind people that all their uploads should use the template, that they should go through old uploads and add it, etc...
I think we're doing okay on new uploads.. it's mostly old things (especially things transferred from other projects) which are problematic.
For completeness's sake:
Transfers done using my CommonsHelper will have {{information}}, filled with appropriate values from the source, or some (good!) guesswork if the source does not use {{Information}}.
To add {{Information}} to an existing image, try http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/add_information.php (well, once the toolserver is working again;-)
Also, I just created [[MediaWiki:AddInformation.js]], which displays "Add {{Information}}" link in the toolbox, linking to above toolserver page. Only if the image doesn't contain {{Information}}, of course. And yes, will work as advertised, when the stars^W toolserver is right again ;-)
To find all YOUR images that lack {{Information}} (or any user), try http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/mynoinfo.php (again, toolserver is broken)
