Forum:Listen template?

Is there anything that works on Wikia like the template on Wikipedia? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Listen ) I wanted to add a song to a page, but I can't figure out the proper coding as the coding that works there doesn't work here :/ Jenemi 01:29, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * It depends on what wiki you are on. I know that Uncyclopedia has one, but most other wikis don't. Also, please sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). Thanks. - Merc Talk to Me. 01:26, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm not on that one and the one I am on that needs the song just started a few days ago so... How would you get it so you can put music on this one then? Jenemi 01:29, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

 * When you do figure this out please post the solution here. Help:Audio files suggests that the Ogg Player extension is enabled by default on newer wikis but this does not seem to be the case for one very recent wiki and even Uncyclopedia does not have that extension. Are you able to upload a .ogg file to your target wiki? Good luck! -- najevi 02:49, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

OK so ... this works at a wiki created in June-09:


 * There is no explicit "OGG player extension" listed at Special:Version, it is just "there".

The .ogg file is uploaded just as you would upload an image file and it creates a page in the File: namespace. The only massaging done at the target wiki article page was to change the default File: namespace prefix to Media: and now when you click on the link displayed it opens the OGG player.

If you take a closer look at the Template:Listen at Uncyclopedia then at the heart of it is simply the link: -- najevi 04:00, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
