Purpose
[kulemba source]This template links to an audio file for quick listening. It is meant to be used inline with text, for pronunciations and the like. Please note that this just creates a link to the file and does not actually embed the file. If the file is Non-Free and only referenced via this template it is not in compliance with Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria § Policy #7.
Usage
[kulemba source]- Basic
{{Audio|name of sound file|text to use as link to soundfile|help=}}
- Simple
'''Alabama''' ({{Audio|en-us-Alabama.ogg|pronunciation}}) is a state located in...
- → Alabama (pronunciation (help·info)) is a state located in...
- Help links
Setting |help=no
disables the "help/info" links. If this is done the template {{inline audio}} must be shown on the page.
'''Alabama''' ({{Audio|en-us-Alabama.ogg|pronunciation of "Alabama"|help=no}})
- → Alabama (pronunciation of "Alabama")
- Todo: add {{inline audio}} to this page.
Microformat
[kulemba source]- Subtemplates
Date-of-publication ("published") information will only be included in the microformat if {{start date}} (or, where appropriate, {{start date and age}}) is used in a parent infobox/template. Do not, however, use {{start date}} or {{start date and age}} if a date before 1583 CE is involved.
Use {{duration}} to specify the duration/length of a recording. For instance, if the recording's duration is 3 minutes 45 seconds, use {{duration|m=3|s=45}}
(which appears as: 3:45). If needed, |h=
may be included to specify a number of hours.
Please do not remove instances of these subtemplates.
