All you need to know about embedding and formatting video.

==Video Guidelines==

# '''Make sure the video is necessary.'''
#* Videos should never act as a replacement for a well-written article.
#* Only use a video if a screenshot wouldn't suffice.
# '''Provide a text summary of what is in the video.'''
#* Remember to indicate what the viewer should be watching for.
# '''Upload an audio file if the video simply documents an unused sound effect or music track.'''
# '''If you come across a dead video link, replace or remove it.'''
# '''Ensure that the primary focus of the video is the information in question.'''

==Uploading Videos==

At this time, there is no way to upload video directly to the wiki, so you're going to need to put it on YouTube. Let's say we want to add [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzAAGoevlc0 this video] to our article. If the video URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzAAGoevlc0, the code is going to look like this.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|<nowiki><youtube>QzAAGoevlc0</youtube></nowiki>
|}

==Formatting Videos==

Of course, perhaps we want to change the size or alignment of our video. Here's a simple example:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|<nowiki><youtube align="left" size="half">QzAAGoevlc0</youtube></nowiki>
|}

And here are a variety of parameters you can use to modify your video even further.

===Size===

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|size="999"
|Chooses size of player.
|-
|double="yes"
|Doubles the size of the player.
|}

===Alignment===

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|align="left"
|Aligns the player to the left side of the page.
|-
|align="default"
|Aligns the player to the right side of the page.
|}

===Height & Width===

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|width="999"
|Changes the width to 999, or whatever number you insert.
|-
|height="999"
|Changes the height to 999, or whatever number you insert.*
|}
