    === Attributes for parser tags ===
    {| class="wikitable"
    |-
    ! Attribute
    ! Description
    |-
    | <code>service="<nowiki>(See Supported Services below.)</nowiki>"</code>
    | '''Required:''' yes
    :The video service to call.
    |-
    | <code>id="<nowiki>[id|url]</nowiki>"</code>
    | '''Required:''' yes
    :The raw ID of the video or URL from the player page.
    |-
    | <code>dimensions="<nowiki>[WIDTH|WIDTHxHEIGHT|xHEIGHT]</nowiki>"</code>
    | '''Required:''' no, '''Default:''' <code>640</code>
    :Dimensions in pixels to size the embed container.  The standard format is width x height where either can be omitted, but the <code>x</code> must proceed height to indicate it as the height.
    :Examples: <code>480</code>, <code>480x320</code>, <code>x320</code>.  If the height is not provided it will be calculated automatically from the width and service default ratio.
    :Some services such as ''Gfycat'' do not have standard heights and should be specified for each embed.  <code>$wgEmbedVideoDefaultWidth</code> can be set in <code>LocalSettings.php</code> to override the default width.
    |-
    | <code>alignment="<nowiki>[left|center|right|inline]</nowiki>"</code>
    | '''Required:''' no, '''Default:''' <code>none</code>
    :Align the placement of the video either to the left, centered, or to the right. Inline will allow multiple videos to display side by side without forced line breaks.
    |-
    | <code>description="<nowiki>[wiki text]</nowiki>"</code>
    | '''Required:''' no, '''Default:''' <code>none</code>
    :Display a description under the embed container.
    |-
    | <code>container="<nowiki>[frame]</nowiki>"</code>
    | '''Required:''' no, '''Default:''' <code>none</code>
    :Specifies the container type to use for the embed.
    ::<code>frame</code>: Wrap the video player in a Mediawiki thumbnail box.
    |-
    | <code>urlargs="<nowiki>modestbranding=1&version=3</nowiki>"</code>
    | '''Required:''' no, '''Default:''' <code>none</code>
    :Allows extra URL arguments to be appended to the generated embed URL.  This is useful for obscure options only supported on one service.
    |-
    | <code>autoresize="<nowiki>false</nowiki>"</code>
    | '''Required:''' no, '''Default:''' <code>true</code>
    :Automatically resize videos when their size will cause them to break outside of their container element.
    |-
    | <code>valignment="<nowiki>[top|middle|bottom|baseline]</nowiki>"</code>
    | '''Required:''' no, '''Default:''' <code>none</code>
    :Align the vertical placement of the video either to the top, middle, bottom, or baseline of the parent element.  Using this parameter forces the alignment parameter to be inline.
    |}
    === Examples ===
    [[File:EmbedVideoExample1.jpg|thumb|Example #1]]
    For example, a video from YouTube uses the 'youtube' service selector. You can specify either the raw ID:
    <pre>{{#ev:youtube|pSsYTj9kCHE}}</pre>
    Or specify the full URL:
    <pre>{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE}}</pre>
    [[File:EmbedVideoExample2.jpg|thumb|Example #2]]
    To display the same video as a right aligned large thumbnail with a description:
    <pre>{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE|1000|right|Let eet GO|frame}}</pre>
    For YouTube to have the video start at a specific time code utilize the urlargs(URL arguments) parameter.  Take the rest of the URL arguments from the custom URL and place them into the urlargs.  Please note that not all video services support extra URL arguments or may have different keys for their URL arguments.
    <pre>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE&start=76</pre>
    <pre>{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE|||||start=76}}</pre>
    URL arguments can be used to chop up a video and loop it:
    <pre>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE&start=160&end=180&loop=1</pre>
    <pre>{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE|||||start=160&end=180&loop=1}}</pre>

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

    #ev - Classic parser tag

    • {{#ev:service|id}}
    • {{#ev:service|id|dimensions}}
    • {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment}}
    • {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description}}
    • {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container}}
    • {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs}}
    • {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize}}
    • {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize|valignment}}

    However, if needed optional arguments may be left blank by not putting anything between the pipes:

    • {{#ev:service|id|||description}}

    #evt - Parser tag for templates

    The #evt parser tag allows for key=value pairs which allows for easier templating and readability. 

    {{#evt:
service=youtube
|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE
|alignment=right
}}

    #evu - Parser tag for URLs

    The #evu parser tag is like the #evt tag, but its first parameter is a URL that will be parsed to determine the service automatically. 

    {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE
|alignment=right
}}

    Tag hook

    Videos can easily be embedded with the <embedvideo></embedvideo> tag hook. The ID/URL goes as the input between the tags and parameters can be added as the tag arguments. 

    <embedvideo service="youtube">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE</embedvideo>

    Alternativly, you can also use the service id as the tag (assuming another extension isn't already using this tag). 

    <youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE</youtube>

    Attributes for parser tags

    Attribute Description
    service="(See Supported Services below.)" Required: yes
    The video service to call.
    id="[id|url]" Required: yes
    The raw ID of the video or URL from the player page.
    dimensions="[WIDTH|WIDTHxHEIGHT|xHEIGHT]" Required: no, Default: 640
    Dimensions in pixels to size the embed container. The standard format is width x height where either can be omitted, but the x must proceed height to indicate it as the height.
    Examples: 480, 480x320, x320. If the height is not provided it will be calculated automatically from the width and service default ratio.
    Some services such as Gfycat do not have standard heights and should be specified for each embed. $wgEmbedVideoDefaultWidth can be set in LocalSettings.php to override the default width.
    alignment="[left|center|right|inline]" Required: no, Default: none
    Align the placement of the video either to the left, centered, or to the right. Inline will allow multiple videos to display side by side without forced line breaks.
    description="[wiki text]" Required: no, Default: none
    Display a description under the embed container.
    container="[frame]" Required: no, Default: none
    Specifies the container type to use for the embed.
    frame: Wrap the video player in a Mediawiki thumbnail box.
    urlargs="modestbranding=1&version=3" Required: no, Default: none
    Allows extra URL arguments to be appended to the generated embed URL. This is useful for obscure options only supported on one service.
    autoresize="false" Required: no, Default: true
    Automatically resize videos when their size will cause them to break outside of their container element.
    valignment="[top|middle|bottom|baseline]" Required: no, Default: none
    Align the vertical placement of the video either to the top, middle, bottom, or baseline of the parent element. Using this parameter forces the alignment parameter to be inline.

    Examples

    File:EmbedVideoExample1.jpg
    Example #1

    For example, a video from YouTube uses the 'youtube' service selector. You can specify either the raw ID: 

    {{#ev:youtube|pSsYTj9kCHE}}

    Or specify the full URL: 

    {{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE}}


    File:EmbedVideoExample2.jpg
    Example #2




    To display the same video as a right aligned large thumbnail with a description: 

    {{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE|1000|right|Let eet GO|frame}}

    For YouTube to have the video start at a specific time code utilize the urlargs(URL arguments) parameter. Take the rest of the URL arguments from the custom URL and place them into the urlargs. Please note that not all video services support extra URL arguments or may have different keys for their URL arguments. 

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE&start=76
    {{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE|||||start=76}}

    URL arguments can be used to chop up a video and loop it: 

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE&start=160&end=180&loop=1
    {{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE|||||start=160&end=180&loop=1}}
