This template links to the spoken version of the article, adds a small sound icon at the top of the article with a link to the audio file, and adds the article into Category:Spoken articles.

Usage

edit

Place this template near the top of the last section of the article:

{{Spoken Wikipedia|date=YYYY-MM-DD|Filename 1.ogg|Filename 2.ogg|Filename 3.ogg ...}}

Where date is of article revision that corresponds to the audio file, in any format, supported by Module:Date, e.g. ISO 8601. See also Template:Date/doc#Examples.

Example at Black:

{{Spoken Wikipedia|date=2005-08-16|black.ogg}}

Parameters

edit
|1=, |2=, |3=...
Filenames for the recording. Arbitrary amount of files is supported. At least one file must be specified.
|date=
Date of the recording.
|page=
Which page is read in the recording. Defaults to subject page name. Can be used to put the template on pages, other than the subject's page.

Microformat

edit

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.
