Template:YouTube

This template should be used to embed YouTube videos.

Usage

{{Youtube
| 1 = Video ID
| 2 = Dimensions
| align = Alignment
| caption = Caption
| nocat = Prevents category to be added
}}

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

Parameters

This template adds a video that can be embedded on a page directly instead on needing to upload it directly to the wiki.

Examples

Default usage

{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA}}

Custom width

{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|720}}

Inline alignment

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

Custom caption

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

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|nocat=y}}|Minecraft Trailer from 2011|align=right}}

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