We have a number of templates that seem to be based on Wikipedia ones, whose use are documented here on Wikipedia.
The Unknown template was used both as a table cell template and as a license template for uploaded files with an "I am not sure choice" for the license, so has been modified to work as before in namespaces other than File, and to show "Unknown license" in the File namespace.
