This template links to the spoken version of the article, adds a small sound icon at the top of the article with a link to the audio file, and adds the article into Category:Spoken articles.

Usage

Place this template in the "External links" section of the article:

{{Spoken Wikipedia|date=YYYY-MM-DD|Filename 1.ogg|Filename 2.ogg|Filename 3.ogg ...}}

Where date is of article revision that corresponds to the audio file, in any format, supported by Module:Date, e.g. ISO 8601. See also Template:Date/doc#Examples.

Example at Black:

{{Spoken Wikipedia|date=2005-08-16|black.ogg}}
