 | This page is part of the Military history WikiProject's online Academy, and contains instructions, recommendations, or suggestions for editors working on military history articles. While it is not one of the project's formal guidelines, editors are encouraged to consider the advice presented here in the course of their editing work. |
External media has the same sourcing and maintenance requirements, as explained in "Using external links."
If an image, audio or video clip is available online but cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia, it may be appropriate to use {{external media}} to provide a direct link to the file and a referenced description of what it contains. External media should be removed as soon as an adequate replacement is available on Wikimedia Commons. A Commons file of low quality or accuracy is not an adequate replacement.
External media can be used multiple times in an article, and in each instance, more than one file can be linked to. External media can be used in the body of the article and outside the external links section (see Late Roman army and War against Nabis).
