So, if you haven't noticed, users are uploading a bunch of audio files to the Wiki to put on character pages. This is indeed a thing but only because mp3, wav, mp4, and most other audio formats aren't accepted for upload on Wikia. The following formats for files are :

png, gif, jpg, jpeg, ico, pdf, svg, odt, ods, odp, odg, odc, odf, odi, odm, ogg, ogv, oga

There are a few ways you can tackle character themes and audio clips... Actually, there are only two that I know of and can use because of my incompetence in Wikia formatting and page making.

One way is to convert your audio file using an online converter or a program. There are many websites out there than can help you with that but some may be better than others on this part.

If you're making audio clips, use Audacity because it is free and easy to use. You can only edit .wav files but it's an easy conversion over to .ogg.
 * ONLINE-CONVERT,com: This is my favourite for online converters because it is simple to use and works quickly. This can be used for pretty much any sort of conversion, even photos.
 * MEDIA.IO: Media.io is my second favourite for short videos or short things but isn't always reliable. Many of my audio clips I needed for my characters were half corrupted and could only play x amount of time. This is great for a few videos but shouldn't be used for mass conversion.
 * FREEMAKE: I personally haven't used Freemake in a while but it can be used to convert in and out of many file types. When I did use it (four years ago) it took a bit but the end product was always fine.

If you haven't caught my jist, your file needs to be in .ogg formatting to upload and play on the wikia.

There's always the Youtube method
