Template:External music video
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Purpose
Most music videos cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia because of copyright restrictions. It is permissible to link to these videos, however, if they are hosted on a site that has licensed them for online viewing. You can use the {{External music video}} template to add a music video link to a song's infobox.
Important: Make sure that any websites you link to are legally licensing the videos. Most music videos found on YouTube and Google Video are not compatible with Wikipedia's linking policies.
