Template:MC/YouTube/doc

This template should be used to embed YouTube videos.

Usage

{{Youtube
| 1 = Video ID
| 2 = Width (defaults to 425)
| 3 = Height (defaults to width ÷ (16÷9) rounded to the nearest integer)
| align = Alignment
| caption = Caption
| nocat = Prevents category to be added
}}

• Using this template on a page categorizes the page into Category:Pages with YouTube videos unless |nocat= is used.

Parameters

<templatedata> { "params": { "1": { "label": "Video ID", "description": "The video ID that must be added.", "type": "string",

           "suggested": true

}, "2": { "label": "Video width", "description": "Changes the width of the video. Defaults to 425", "type": "string" }, "3": { "label": "Video height", "description": "Changes the height of the video. Defaults to width ÷ (16÷9) rounded to the nearest integer", "type": "string" }, "align": { "label": "Video alignment", "description": "Changes the alignment of the video.", "type": "string" }, "caption": { "label": "Video caption", "description": "Adds an optional caption for the video.", "type": "string" }, "nocat": { "label": "Category supressor", "description": "Prevents Category:Pages with YouTube videos to be added to a page using this template.", "type": "string" } }, "description": "This template adds a video that can be embedded on a page directly instead on needing to upload it directly to the wiki.", "format": "inline" } </templatedata>

Examples

Default usage

{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA}}

Custom width

{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|720}}

Custom width and height

{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|560|280}}

Inline alignment

{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|align=inline}}
{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|align=inline}}

Custom caption

{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|caption=''Minecraft'' official trailer.}}

With an image frame

Sometimes it makes sense to put the video in an image frame so that it formats like an image:

{{FakeImage|{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA}}|Minecraft Trailer from 2011|align=right}}

This can unclutter the pages a lot. You also get to add a caption. Template:FakeImage
