Template:Bare URL AV media/doc

This template is an inline alternative to Cleanup bare URLs, for use ONLY with links to multimedia files, i.e. those containing audio and/or video.

These files will have a mime type beginning with  or , and will usually have one of the following extensions: .aac, .avi, .mid, .midi, .mp3, .mp4, .mpeg, .oga, .ogv, .opus, .ts, .wav, .weba, .webm, .3gp, .3g2.

Usage
Paste this after a bare-URL reference/link to a multimediafile:

It is best to place the tag a citation, just before the closing c tag:
 * Result:
 * Result:

This will still categorize the page for cleanup without cluttering the present paragraph with "[bare URL AV media]", and it will also help track down the citation to improve by keeping the cleanup tag in the citation. When doing it this way, the date must be manually entered; it cannot be done with the  shortcut method, because template substitution does not work inside p tags.
