Different wikis often have different metadata formatting conventions because it's just wikitext. How do the tracking categories know where to find the information?

Hi all,
starting this Tuesday (on Commons) or Thursday (all other wikis), files
which do not have machine-parseable author, source, license or description will be automatically added to tracking categories (one category for each). The name of the categories will be determined by the following messages:
commonsmetadata-trackingcategory-no-license commonsmetadata-trackingcategory-no-description commonsmetadata-trackingcategory-no-author commonsmetadata-trackingcategory-no-source

If you would rather not have these tracking categories on your wiki, you
can achieve that by setting the content of the local message to "-" (a single dash character).
Links to the local message pages are available from
[[Special:TrackingCategories]].
