This template provides a simplified way to use the EmbedVideo plugin. It automatically uses the standard thumbnail size and position used on this wiki
Usage
The YouTube template should be called in the following way:
{{YouTube|<videoID>|<title>|<new row?>}}
where
Video IDis the ID is the bold part of the URL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqNcksMfAjM)Title(optional) is the caption for the videonew row?(optional) should always bebrwhen used. This parameter tell the template if it should create a new row or not.
Examples
- Specifying video ID and title. Titles longer than the box will automatically be truncated. We are embedding only one video, so we should add the
brtag to the 3rd parameter. In this example,{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro with title longer than box|br}}will produce this:
- Specifying only video ID. We are embedding only one video, so we should add the
brtag to the 3rd parameter. In this example,{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|br}}make the template use URL as title since no title was entered:
Notes
- Using multiple calls will make the videos be side-by-side (the last video should ALWAYS include the
brtag to the 3rd parameter):
- When you need one video in each row, you should add the
brtag to the 3rd parameter of all videos, not just the last:
- If you use this template and forget to add the
brtag to the 3rd parameter after calling the last video, you'll get something weird, like this topic!
