Template:SoundCloud
 | This template uses Lua: |
The template name is "{{SoundCloud}}". It is used to link articles to a particular SoundCloud account, by the account's URL and title.
Usage
The external links guideline recommends avoiding links to SoundCloud unless the SoundCloud is an official account "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article". Multiple hoax and "fan" accounts have been discovered; please make a particular effort to verify the authenticity of any official links. Legitimate SoundCloud accounts are usually named in reliable sources, such as newspaper stories, about the subject, or linked by other subject-controlled sources.
Wikipedia is not a comprehensive directory of a subject's web presence. Linking to SoundCloud and social networking sites is discouraged if the links are easily found at the subject's main website or other official link.
No parameters
The template will pull the ID from Wikidata (if present there) and extract the link text from the page name, minus an parenthetical disambiguation. If there is no SoundCloud ID in Wikidata, an error message is displayed.
