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

{{Infobox song
...
| misc = {{subst:External music video
| type =
| header =
| 1 =
}}
- type
- Enter
single
to produce a khaki header orsong
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).
