Template:Birdsong/doc

Purpose

Allows a clean link in articles on bird species to recordings of songs, calls, etc. for that species' listing at xeno-canto.org. Up to four audio recordings at the Wikimedia Commons can be added, and the default image seen can be changed to any one you specify.

Usage

Minimal form

{{Birdsong
 | url = url at xeno-canto.org (required)
 | species = the name of the species (required). If not using the scientific name, you may need to add a definite article ["the"; "a"] depending on the context.
 }}

Songs and calls
Listen to Sitta przewalskii on xeno-canto

Scientific name example:
{{Birdsong|species = ''Sitta przewalskii''|url = http://www.xeno-canto.org/species/Sitta-przewalskii}}
produces the template seen at the right for Przevalski's nuthatch.

Adding Wikimedia Commons audio files

{{Birdsong

 | species = the name of the species (required)
 | song1 = name of the first audio file (optional)
 | caption song1 = caption for the first audio file (optional)
 | song2 = name of the second audio file (optional)
 | caption song2 = caption for the second audio file (optional)

Thus: {{Birdsong|url = http://www.xeno-canto.org/species/Branta-canadensis|species = Canada goose|song1 = Branta canadensis.ogg|caption song1 = Call of the Canada goose}}
produces the template seen at right for the Canada goose.

Changing the image

If you want to change the default image seen in the examples, simply add:

Songs and calls

Example:

produces the template seen at the right.
