Template:Audio sample/doc

Audio sample
file help

Usage

If this template is substituted, it will return a cleaned-up copy of itself with unnecessary parameters removed and deprecated parameters replaced. Parameter indentation will also automatically be fixed.

Syntax

{{subst:Audio sample
 | type        = 
 | header      = 
 | file        = 
 | description =
}}

Parameters

Parameter	Description
type	Specify single, song, or a code from {{Infobox album/doc/type}} – this sets the header color.
header	"Audio sample" is the default header. A custom header may be added or to hide it altogether, specify none.
file	Name of the audio file. For example, for File:americaog.ogg, specify americaog.ogg.
description	Since the infobox already provides the name of the song, artist, dates, etc., an additional description is usually not necessary.

Microformat

The HTML mark-up produced by this template includes an hAudio microformat that makes an audio recording's details readily parsable by computer programs. This aids tasks such as the cataloguing of articles and maintenance of databases. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please visit the Microformat WikiProject.

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.
