Purpose[edit]
This template links to an audio file for quick listening. It is meant to be used inline with text, for pronunciations and the like. Please note that this just creates a link to the file and does not actually embed the file. If the file is Non-Free and only referenced via this template it is not in compliance with Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria § Policy #7.
The template uses the Phonos MediaWiki extension to create an audio link that plays on click.
