I think it would be helpful if we could have examples of the templates you are thinking of and try them on images we already have on the wiki to figure out if and how practicable they are. Image formatting is incredibly complicated already (what, with floating left not working, no explanations on how to add galleries, group pictures, change display sizes, etc.) and most people feel a bit intimidated by that. So it would be good if we could try these templates *before* we decide on a final version of the policy.
Here are a few examples of images uploaded to Fanlore. It would be nice to know where they fit in your policy and if and what kind of information should be added to them:
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Image:Terma1.jpg This is an old archive banner that I saved years ago. It might or might not be still available via wayback. I have no idea when it was made or what the copyright status information should be. It's a manip made by The Theban Band. Manips use copyrighted images as source. I haven't asked for permission, but neither did the people who used Theban Band images at conventions, in professional magazines or on TV shows. I think the most important thing was the stealing bandwidth thing.
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Gayle_F An artist page that includes a gallery of art created by this fanartist. Many of the images are explicit (so is a lot of art in museums).
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Image:Spock_Enslaved.jpg Cover of a gen zine, source is mentioned in the comments. No idea about dates (do we need the date when the artist made the image? when the zine was published? when the picture of the zine was taken?), licenses or copyright information.

http://fanlore.org/wiki/Image:Holmes%26Watson.jpg Scan from artist's personal collection, uploaded with permission.
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Image:Buckwheat1and3.jpeg Scans from the personal collection of someone who owns the copies of the zines these scans are made from.
