| This is a documentation subpage for Template:External music video. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This template is used to create links to videos available on external web sites. Make sure you only link to web sites that are legally licensing the videos. Most music videos found on YouTube and Google Video are not compatible with Wikipedia's linking policies. |
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}}.
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.
