Template:Listen in Rabbithole
A link from a song page into Rabbithole, playing that track.
Usage
{{Listen in Rabbithole|QmS3QEZFa1c75BBa9vwNEsXkS6GBmS75Cs6RyDJBXqRx8a}}
{{Listen in Rabbithole|QmS3QEZ...|label=Hear the tin whistle come in}}
Parameters
- 1 — the track Release CID. Not the record's CID: each track has its own Release page, and that is the one the player wants.
- label — optional link text, for when the default reads wrong in context.
Why this is a template and not a link
Two reasons, both learned the hard way.
The player's entry point is ?track=<cid>, and a bare =
written into prose on a page a bot edits destroys the line it is on — the
bot-proposes wrapper takes its content as a positional parameter, so everything
after the equals becomes a named one and the paragraph renders as
{{{1}}}. Inside a template the equals lives in the template's own
wikitext and never passes through that wrapper. The first listen link on
Song:August was removed for exactly this, on 2026-10-17, and this template
is the fix.
And the host is not hard-coded. {{SERVER}}
What it does not know
Which page is about which recording. The CID is passed in by hand because nothing connects a composition to its track Release — the song page knows its release page only because somebody linked it. When that edge exists, this template should take a song and find the CID itself.
