There is a tutorial (although probably not a user-friendly one) at
Multimedia/Media_Viewer/Template_compatibility<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multimedia/Media_Viewer/Template_compatibility>
.

Not sure how we can tell that there is information that we can't display,
unless we just show this for every image which does not have a compatible
information template.

Images that are uploaded to other places than Commons will not have
structured metadata. (Not in the foreseeable future, at the very least.)

Non-free images usually have a license-like template (such as {{
Non-free_fair_use
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Non-free_fair_use>}}),
that can be marked up as a license template so it's displayed by
MediaViewer.
