by User
The file specified with parameter 1, or each file specified with parameters 1 to n, can also be linked with the name of its author.
A value given with the parameter "by=" will be assigned to each file which does not have an individual author assignment with by1, by2, ... .
An individual author assignment can either specify an author, or with no value byn= that no "by" should exist for that file n.
The 'global' parameter "by=user" is for all files that neither get an own author name byn=user, nor are excluded byn=.
- Abbrevition :
In simple cases the |by= can be abbreviated with "/":
{{ Derived from | Example.jpg/Example | example.svg/Extra }}

Colon
The template finishes its display with a new line; when the template is used just to display the text, like
{{ Derived from }} - This file was derived from: Category:Derivative versions which will not be appropriate if continuation in the same line is required;
the new line can be avoided by using a colon instead of the missing user name, e.g.
{{ Derived from | by = : }}{{ F | Example.svg }}{{ By | example }}<br /> - This file was derived from: Category:Derivative versionsExample.svg by example
without inbetween spaces; a final new line can be forced manually, as shown, or by passing "br" as a second parameter to {{By}}.
