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>|<options>}}</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 video
*<code>options</code> (optional) control some other functionalities of this template. Specifying <code>br</code> in this parameter tell the template to create a new row after embedding the video. Specifying <code>link</code> makes the template return only a hiperlink to watch the video on YouTube.
 
==Examples==
* Embed a video by 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 <code>br</code> tag to the 3rd parameter. In this example, <code><nowiki>{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro with title longer than box|br}}</nowiki></code> will produce this:
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro with title longer than box|br}}
 
* Embed a video by specifying only video ID, so the 2nd parameter is null. 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||br}}
 
* Return a hiperlink to watch the video on YouTube by specifying video ID and title. We want only the hiperlink, so we should add the <code>link</code> tag to the 3rd parameter. In this example, <code><nowiki>{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro|link}}</nowiki></code> will produce this:
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Intro|link}}
 
 
* Return a hiperlink to watch the video on YouTube by specifying only video ID. We want only the hiperlink, so we should add the <code>link</code> tag to the 3rd parameter. In this example, <code><nowiki>{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM||link}}</nowiki></code> make the template use URL as title since no title was entered:
{{YouTube|VqNcksMfAjM||link}}
 
==Notes==
* To use only video ID and an option, you must null the 2nd parameter by using ||, like this: <code><nowiki>{{YouTube|<videoID>||<options>}}</nowiki></code>
* 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!
