There's also the WikiVid extension that I'm working on which supports a Similar syntax, as well as a variety of other ones. http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiVid

If someone would poke me enough, I could potentially commit the current state of the WikiVid extension into the trunk of my SVN repo for people to use the bits of current functionality. And once I get rid of some OpenID issues the dev/demo site would be running it and you'd be able to try out use of it.

Just be warned that I'm planning on changing the structure of using a Special page as the Embed pages into actually using an Embed: Namespace. Though, that won't really change any of the syntaxes.

Matsch is right, that is the EmbedVideo syntax, an extension which I wrote. For more examples, see the project homepage:

Hi Tim, nice wiki! Can you explain, if you have the time, how you got the YouTube video in there? I looked at the source code, and don't quite get the line

{{#ev:youtube|Ywg-PdeGVL0}}

I'd like to do something similar.

I googled "YouTube in MediaWiki", and got some hits, just wondering the best method to use, if you have any recommendations.

Thanks, Frank Fulchiero Digital Media Specialist Connecticut College
