Nice tool, as always, Magnus!  IMO it should check for {{Flickr}} too ;-)

Along those lines... I've created a new, beta version of the {{Flickr}}
template, available at [1].  Its advantages are that it calls
{{Information}} directly, and uses uppercase parameter names to be
consistent with {{Information}}.  Comments are very welcome at the talk page
[2].  In particular, I'd like for someone to make sure I haven't messed up
the template syntax.
