Template talk:YouTube

This template's an excellent addition; I wanted to make something similar myself a long time back, but I could never quite manage to get the videos positioned properly within a frame... Anyway, it might be an idea if someone could upgrade the rest of the articles listed here to use this new template. Also, a while back I made this template (Template:Vid-header) for adding to a header, not sure i that should be somehow incorporated into this one if possible, or at least formatted to match it? 06:44, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll work on it I guess. 07:00, November 11, 2008 (UTC)


 * Ahh... yes.... I already programmed a similar function into the template. There are some examples. I can tweak it so it will let you make it work like a header or a caption. 08:30, November 11, 2008 (UTC)


 * Example is in the Sandbox. 11:08, November 11, 2008 (UTC)

Music
Now I have a question, this template is also used for music, but would it be possible to make a separate template that doesn't have video display of the embed video? Most videos for the music just display a single image, and it takes up unnecessary space, an example here (scroll down to the music section) shows that they just use a single image for playing it, is it possible to implement that? 20:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Providing my assumption is correct, this functionality seems to be a feature of the extension YouTube (Version 1.8) as shown here. This is a different extension than the one we use (EmbedVideo). Unfortunately, the extension YouTube was written by a member of Wikia staff, and as such doesn't seem to have been released at Mediawiki.org. I've managed to track down an unknown development version of the extension here, so I'll suggest to the staff that we attempt installing and testing it. 12:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Have the admins expressed any interest in the idea yet? 22:54, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
