Template:Pronunciation audio requested

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

"Template:Par" redirects here. For the personal attack removed template, see Template:Personal attack removed.

This template is placed at the top of an article's talk page to request that someone make a pronunciation audio for the article title and put it following Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation.

Usage

Basic syntax with no additional parameters:

{{Pronunciation audio requested}}

Syntax and parameters

The template employs several optional data field parameters, as described below:

{{Pronunciation audio requested
|1=
|2=
|3=
|of=
|in=
|in2=
|in3=
|in4=
|in5=
|in6=
|in7=
|in8=
|in9=
|in10=
|in11=
|in12=
|in13=
|in14=
|in15=
|in16=
|in17=
|in18=
|in19=
|in20=
|in21=
|1o=
|1r=
|2r=
|3r=
|category=
|free=
|collapsed=
|small=
|nocat=
}}

Parameters legend

• |1= - may be passed to indicate an appropriate topic subcategory. The positional parameter alternatively may be unnamed (e.g., instead of "|1=xxx", the string "|xxx" would have the same results as "|1=xxx").

Up to three positional parameters (e.g., 1=, 2=, 3=) may be used to specify appropriate subcategories. For example, use {{image requested|1=sportspeople|2=musicians}} or {{image requested|sportspeople|musicians}} to add the page to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of sportspeople and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of musicians.

• |of= - may be passed to indicate what the subject of the photograph should be.
• |in= - specifies where the photograph may best be taken, and adds the article to the appropriate location subcategory if there is also a "Wikipedians" category for the location (e.g. {{image requested|in=Wisconsin}} adds the article to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Wisconsin if [:Category:Wikipedians in Wisconsin] also exists).

Additional in2=, in3=, ... up to in21= parameters may be used to specify up to twenty location categories (such as for roads that cross multiple counties or celebrities and others who may frequent multiple locations).

• |collapsed= - may be set to collapsed=yes to close up the template message box.

If more than six locations are specified (e.g., in=, in2=, in3=, in4=, in5=, in6=, in7= ... are used), the template message box will collapse automatically without using the collapsed= parameter. Specifying collapsed=no will keep the template message box expanded, no matter how many in= parameters are specified (i.e. no matter how many locations are specified).

• |small= - toggles the message box from standard size to small, if small=yes.
• |category= - suppresses the automatic categorization if category=no.
• |free= - if free=yes, the substituted text will explicitly request a freely-licensed photograph.

Notes

• If no category or location parameters are present, this template adds the article to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs.
• To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template. A common initial configuration for the template includes the following basic parameters:

{{image requested| |of=|in=|in2=|in3=}}

• If the specific location or topic does not have a corresponding requested-photographs category, then the page is also placed in one of the subcategories of Category:Wikipedia requested images in non-existent categories. This assists editors in ensuring that image requests are properly categorised.

Variants from using this template

As a variant, some talk page WikiProject banners can also list an article as needing a photograph. However, where the talk page banners do not highlight a need for a photograph in an article or where photographs for the article are requested in more than three locations, this template may be placed on the talk (discussion) page of the article, instead.

Another variant is to find existing photographs that might meet the needs.

Redirects

Redirects to this template are considered "copies".
