This template allows you to embed a Youtube video in a page. To use it you simply provide the ID of a Youtube video, and optionally a height and width.
Although you can use this template anywhere (that is appropriate) in the wiki, the Videos page is one great place to start.

Finding a Video's ID
Every Youtube video includes its ID in its URL. For instance, if you right click on the Green Trailer video and choose "Copy video URL", you'd get the URL:
https://youtu.be/CBttHicGbek
The ID is the part after "https://youtu.be/", in other words:
https://youtu.be/CBttHicGbek
Other Youtube URLs may put it elsewhere, but it always be present. For instance, if you visit the Youtube page for that video, it will take you to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBttHicGbek
Examples
Example #1: Short Version
If you use this version you can not add a space before the ID (ie. after the "|").
{{youtube |CBttHicGbek}}
Example #2: Longer Version
If you use this version you can not add a space before the ID (ie. after the "=").
{{youtube | id=CBttHicGbek }}
Example #3: Longer Version: Specific Dimensions
By default this template will apply a width of 400 pixels and a height of 225 pixels to the video. This is a reasonable size to show it's thumbnail in the wiki, and the viewer can easily full-screen the video if they want.
However, sometimes, when a video is particularly significant to the page that it's on, you may wish to display it with a different height/width, and you can do so as shown below:
If you use this version you can not add a space before the ID (ie. after the "=").
{{youtube
| id=CBttHicGbek
| height=576
| width=1024
}}
