Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Embedded video

Attention Adept of the LEXICANUM! This article is being created or revised. Please consider this before you edit this text!

Embedded videos are videos from Accepted sources (i.e. by Games Workshop and its license holders) that are hosted on external video platforms such as Youtube. Within the Lexicanum they are used as additional resources to provide the reader with a more immersive experience of the subject of the article in question.

When to use Embedded videos

Embedded videos should be used when the subject of the video is pertinent to the subject of the Lexicanum page in question. The use of Embedded videos should not be overdone. For example there is no point in embedding ten videos into an article consisting of two lines of text (see also below).

Where to include Embedded videos in an article

Embedded videos are only allowed in the section Additional resources (see General article structure) in their own subsection, entitled Videos. If an Images subsection exists the Videos subsection is to be placed behind it. Each video has to be preceded by an appropriate description including (when applicable) Internal links and always have proper Citation.

Example of an Embedded video in the article Daemonifuge

How many videos can be embedded in an article?

As said before the use of Embedded videos should not be overdone. The maximum number of allowed videos per article is therefore set at 5. There might occasionally be circumstances under which this limit can be relaxed, this must however be explicitly greenlighted by an Administrator or Bureaucrat.

Order

If multiple Embedded videos are used they have to be sorted in reverse chronological order, i.e. the most recent video comes first, the oldest last. If several videos form a sequence (e.g. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3...) then the whole should be treated as one item when sorting the videos by date.

Citation

All Citation rules apply.

Description/ caption

All Internal link rules apply.

How to include an Embedded video in an article

Simple mode

This mode is used when an Embedded video should play completely.

Example:

• The Daemonifuge Returns^[1]:

Code:

*''The Daemonifuge Returns''{{Fn|1}}:

{{#evt: service=youtube
|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYNwYo9GA7w
|alignment=center
|description=
|container=frame
}}

• The corresponding original external video platform link is included behind id=
• The alignment is always center
• The description= must remain empty

Advanced mode: set starting point

The Embedded video can bet set to start at a determined point. This should be used for videos in which only specific sequences are relevant to the article in question. The relevant code line is urlargs=start= followed by the starting point in seconds.

Example for a video starting at 15 seconds:

• The Daemonifuge Returns^[1]:

Code:

*''The Daemonifuge Returns''{{Fn|1}}:

{{#evt: service=youtube
|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYNwYo9GA7w
|alignment=center
|description=
|container=frame
|urlargs=start=15
}}

Advanced mode: set stopping point

The Embedded video can bet set to stop at a determined point. This should be used for videos in which only specific sequences are relevant to the article in question. The relevant code line is urlargs=end= followed by the stopping point in seconds.

Example for a video stopping after 20 seconds:

• The Daemonifuge Returns^[1]:

Code:

*''The Daemonifuge Returns''{{Fn|1}}:

{{#evt: service=youtube
|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYNwYo9GA7w
|alignment=center
|description=
|container=frame
|urlargs=end=20
}}

Advanced mode: set starting AND stopping point

The Embedded video can bet set to start and stop at determined points. This should be used for videos in which only specific sequences are relevant to the article in question. The relevant code line is urlargs=start= &end= with start= and end= followed by the respective starting and stopping point in seconds.

Example for a video starting at 15 seconds and stopping after 20 seconds:

• The Daemonifuge Returns^[1]:

Code:

*''The Daemonifuge Returns''{{Fn|1}}:

{{#evt: service=youtube
|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYNwYo9GA7w
|alignment=center
|description=
|container=frame
|urlargs=start=15&end=20
}}
