Template:Externalaudio

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.

Usage
Legend:

= left / right / center

= number(standard=300) px

= URL of the audio (direct link download the audio, not to the page if possible)

= description of the audio

= link to the page where the audio is from + date when this link was created

See it in action
