What am I trying to accomplish in this template:VideoGallery's sandbox?
{{VideoGallery|{{#vardefineecho:videogallery|

... to produce the familiar layout the VideoGallery has been doing. Compare below and #Legacy compatibility! Note the different random videos, the random logic in parameterless version are different and it may be an improvement.
Legacy compatibility
Videos like below still use the old template parameters, they will work fine.
- Xenoblade JP 1 (Dolphin Emulator @ 720p)
- Cocoto Platform Jumper HD on Dolphin Emulator (Widescreen Hack) part1
Pros
- Parameterless to prevent typo or tampering.
- Reduce editing. Just copy/paste the video url and write caption!
Cons/Issues
- Requires
{{#vardefineecho:videogallery|}}to avoid issues with equal sign ("=") in template. Fun fact, most video urls have equal sign! - Video without caption will have erratic caption, as seen in #No captions.
- Listed ascending
Quirks
Empty Template
No caption
Double Open Brackets
Using unmatched (or perhaps any) double open square brackets breaks this template. {{VideoGallery/sandbox|{{#vardefineecho:videogallery| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sam9lDWDvXE Xenoblade JP HD Gameplay 1A [[Dolphin Emulator @ 720p) }}}}
