Hey Declan, Smart thinking!
We should also think about developing a tutorial on using images in WE which could include some guidance on attribution, licensing etc. It would be pretty easy to include a link to this tutorial from your template. This is one of the features I love about Mediawiki --- templates can save time and increase our educational productivity.
