From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 External audio |

[edit] Purpose
If an audio is available online, but cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia, it may be appropriate to use {{externalaudio}} to provide a direct link to the audio of sufficient quality and a (referenced) description of what can be heard.
{{externalaudio}} should be removed as soon as an adequate (it is not adequate if the audio in commons is not of sufficient quality) audio is available in commons.
{{externalaudio}} can be used multiple times in an article, and each implementation of {{externalaudio}} can be used to link to more than one audio.
[edit] Usage
{{externalaudio
|align = {{{1}}}
|width = {{{2}}}
|audio1 = [ {{{3}}} {{{4}}} ] <ref> {{{5}}} </ref>
|audio2 = ...
}}
Legend:
{{{1}}} = left / right / center
{{{2}}} = number(standard=300) px
{{{3}}} = URL of the audio (direct link download the audio, not to the page if possible)
{{{4}}} = description of the audio
{{{5}}} = link to the page where the audio is from + date when this link was created
[edit] See it in action
Please look at War against Nabis to see an implementation of {{externalimage}}.
[edit] Other templates for linking external media
There is a family of three templates to link external media: {{externalimage}}, {{externalvideo}} and {{externalaudio}}
