Template:External Music Video

Most music videos cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia because of copyright restrictions. However, it is permissible to link to videos if they are hosted on a site that has licensed them for online viewing. Use this template to add a music video link to an infobox created by {{Infobox song}}, {{Infobox album}}, or other appropriate infobox.

Usage

This template is used with the |misc= parameter of the infobox template. It should not be used on its own. 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.

Code

Music video
{{Infobox song
...
| misc         = {{subst:External music video
 | type        = 
 | header      = 
 | 1           = 
}}
type
Enter single to produce a khaki header or song for light blue for other Infobox song types, so that the headers will have a consistent color.
header
Enter the text for the header. If not used, the default is Music video. For no header, enter |header=no. For multiple music video links, set the first to |header=Music videos and the succeeding links to |header=no, so only one header for all will be created (see Example 2).
1
Enter the video link, plus the song title in quote marks, followed by the name of the video site (see Example 1). For YouTube links, use {{YouTube}}, instead of [http: ...] (see Example 2).
