==Videos==
Videos can be embedded in pages on the wiki by using the ''<nowiki><youtube></nowiki>'' tag on the article to show a video from [http://www.youtube.com YouTube].  All embedded videos are Flash-based.  The number of videos used in articles should be kept to a minimum, and used only where necessary and useful.  Examples of this are videos of glitches, which are easier to understand through a video (though the text should not rely on videos for understanding, to cater for those who cannot watch them).
All embedded videos are Flash-based; they can be embedded on pages in two ways:
 
For a [http://www.youtube.com YouTube] video where you don't need to add a caption or resize or the like, use ''<nowiki><youtube>video ID</youtube></nowiki>'' on the article.
 
To customise a video or use ones from other sites, use one of the following:
* <tt><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id}}</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|width}}</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|width|align}}</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|width|align|desc}}</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>{{#evp:service|id|desc}}</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>{{#evp:service|id|desc|align}}</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>{{#evp:service|id|desc|align|width}}</nowiki></tt>
 
where:
* <tt>service</tt> is the name of a video sharing service (See "service name" in the list below)
* <tt>id</tt> is the id of the video to include
* <tt>width</tt> (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
* <tt>align</tt> (optional) is an alignment (float) attribute. May be "left" or "right".
* <tt>desc</tt> (optional) is a short description to display beneath the video when it is aligned
 
The number of videos used in articles should be kept to a minimum, and used only where necessary and useful.  Examples of this are videos of glitches, which are easier to understand through a video, or pre-release material (though the text should not rely on videos for understanding, to cater for those who cannot watch them).


==Audio==
==Audio==
At the moment, only short clips of soundtracks from the Pikmin games are required, a list of which can be found at [[:Category:Audio]].  For these, there must be no sound effects, just a clip of music up to 30 seconds in length.  Add ''<nowiki>{{Audio}}</nowiki>'' to the image description page to properly license and categorize it.  When adding the audio file to an article, use [[:Template:Listen]].

'''Only OGG files are accepted'''.  This is because of the format's completely free licensing and superior encoding.
