OK, thanks!

I've created a template {{Flickr}} (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ 
Template:Flickr).  There's an example up at <http:// 
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Bdesham/temp>.  It would be nice if  
the Flickr logo were included, but we can't use fair-use images on  
Commons AFAIK.  Here's the template syntax:

{{Flickr|
| photographer = [<user's url> <user's name>]
| photographer_location = <location>
| title = <title>
| description = <description>
| taken = <date>
| flickrurl = <image url>
}}

This seems like it should be reasonably easy to edit with  
FlickrLickr; if you got really crazy, you could use a text box for  
each value and have the script assemble them.  That's probably  
overkill, though.

How does this template look?
