Template talk:Audio-pipe

This template was considered for deletion on 2017 July 19. The result of the discussion was "no consensus".

This template combines sound and text links without extra mess, such as help files. It was developed by Woodstone for the Help:IPA pronunciation key, where there are multiple links and space was at a premium. kwami 21:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The extra mess was added back in, and I deleted it. There are other templates for that; this is used on pages like help:IPA where we don't want a hundred links to (info). kwami (talk) 22:22, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The info links are needed because at least some of the audio links are GFDL. Attribution/source information and a GFDL dedication must be linked. --Kjoonlee 07:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I had made myself clear by saying "Must provide info link if used with GFDL audio samples" in my edit summary. :( --Kjoonlee 07:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, the solution to the mess at help:IPA is to rescind the GFD licenses of the sound files? kwami (talk) 08:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think of it as a mess, but if you don't like it, then you can upload PD or LGPL audio samples. --Kjoonlee 08:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not very familiar with the word rescind, but if you mean revocation or annulment, that would be impossible. (Unless the GFDL dedication itself was a copyvio.) --Kjoonlee 08:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see you reinstated the messy info links. They do not give any useful information to the reader. Why do you insist on putting them in? −Woodstone (talk)

For legal reasons. Most audio files are released to the public under the GNU FDL (GFDL) which legally require attribution to the authors. *You* haven't given me a reason on why you can ignore copyright law. --Kjoonlee 14:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
