EmbedVideo Extension

The EmbedVideo Extension is a MediaWiki extension which adds parser functions called #ev and #evp for embedding video clips from popular video sharing services.

Usage

The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:

• {{#ev:service|id}}
• {{#ev:service|id|width}}
• {{#ev:service|id|width|align}}
• {{#ev:service|id|width|align|desc}}
• {{#evp:service|id|desc}}
• {{#evp:service|id|desc|align}}
• {{#evp:service|id|desc|align|width}}

Where:

• service is the name of a video sharing service (See "service name" in the list below)
• id is the id of the video to include
• width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
• align (optional) is an alignment (float) attribute. May be "left" or "right".
• desc (optional) is a short description to display beneath the video when it is aligned

For example, to include the famous "evolution of dance" YouTube video, you'd enter:

{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}}

And if you wanted scaled down to thumbnail size, on the right with a short description, you could use:

{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg|100|right|This is an embedded video!}}

Note: See the Project Homepage for more examples.
