[edit] What information do I need?

To add a video clip from YouTube you need two pieces of information.

The Title - You need to know the title of your video. In our example it is "Fireworks at Crystal Palace Park 2003".

The Reference Number - You also need the unique reference number that YouTube assigns to each clip. If you are looking at your video on YouTube the number can be seen in both the web address and in the embedding code. In our example "i88MCNG5-Mo" can be seen here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i88MCNG5-Mo

and here:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie"
value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i88MCNG5-Mo&hl=en">
</param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i88MCNG5-Mo
&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355">
</embed></object>

[edit] How do I add a single clip?

When all of our required wiki markup is added together it looks like this:

== Videos ==
{{YouTubeStart}}
{{YouTube|i88MCNG5-Mo|Fireworks at Crystal Palace Park 2003}}
{{YouTubeEnd}}

If there isn't an existing heading for "Videos" then please add one near the end of the article, just above the Maps heading.

== Videos ==

Then add the code for the first line (this is only listed once at the top of the list)

{{YouTubeStart}}

Then add the code for your video clip (repeat on new lines for additional videos). Your reference number and title should be substituted for the ones in our example. The format is {{YouTube|xxxxxx|zzzzzz}} where xxxxxx is the reference, and zzzzzz is the title.

{{YouTube|i88MCNG5-Mo|Fireworks at Crystal Palace Park 2003}}

Then add the code for the last line (this is only listed once at the end of the list)

{{YouTubeEnd}}

[edit] How do I add several clips?

If there are several videos listed it will look more like this:

== Videos ==
{{YouTubeStart}}
{{YouTube|i88MCNG5-Mo|Fireworks at Crystal Palace Park 2003}}
{{YouTube|Np4GW4_OAvQ|Crystal Palace Parking Tickets}}
{{YouTube|BMThcdXSLFU|Police Helicopter}}
{{YouTube|LwCwOi3flY4|Pot Hole in Lambeth}}
{{YouTubeEnd}}

The finished result looks like this:
