Legacy compatibility

Videos like below still use the old template parameters, they will work fine.

{{VideoGallery/sandbox
|vid1=wjzv0KtDXOA|cap1=Xenoblade JP 1 (Dolphin Emulator @ 720p)

}}

Other rationale

  • Requires {{#vardefineecho:videogallery|}} to avoid issues with equal sign ("=") in template. If {{Problems}} is doing it then why not this?
  • Parameterless to prevent parameter typo or tampering. This has happened before. Can't remember where was the discussion that is about a delusional anonymous tampering the parameter number in attempt of having his video first on the list - in assumption of only the first three videos will embed on the page. This won't be the case when parameters weren't there. They can paste their url anywhere in the list, doesn't matter. Also with JS they wouldn't be thinking about the edit save grinding.
  • Quality categories added: checks if the video url is accepted for embedding and checks for the missing caption.
