This template provides a simplified way to use the [[Template:EmbedVideo|EmbedVideo]] plugin. It automatically uses the standard thumbnail size and position used on this wiki

==Usage==
{{EmbedVideo|youtube}}
The YouTube template should be called in the following way:
*<code><nowiki>{{YouTube|<videoID>|<title>|<new row?>}}</nowiki></code>
where
*<code>Video ID</code> is the ID is the bold part of the URL (<nowiki>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=</nowiki>'''VqNcksMfAjM''')
*<code>Title</code> (optional) is the caption for the hiperlink
*<code>new row?<code> can be empty or <code>br</code>. This parameter tell the template if it should create a new row or not.
 
==Examples==
* Specifying video ID and title. We are embedding only one video, so we should add the <code>br</code> tag to the 3rd parameter. In this example, <code><nowiki>{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro|br}}</nowiki></code> will produce this:
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro|br}}
 
* Specifying only video ID. We are embedding only one video, so we should add the <code>br</code> tag to the 3rd parameter. In this example, <code><nowiki>{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|br}}</nowiki></code> make the template use URL as title since no title was entered:
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM}}<div style="clear:left"></div>
 
==Notes==
* Using multiple calls will make the videos be side-by-side (the last video should ALWAYS include the <code>br</code> tag to the 3rd parameter):
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro}}
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro}}
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro|br}}
 
* When you need one video in each row, you should add the <code>br</code> tag to the 3rd parameter of all videos, not just the last:
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro|br}}
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro|br}}
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro}}
 
* If you use this template and forget to add the <code>br</code> tag to the 3rd parameter after calling the last video, you'll get something weird, like this topic!
