To add a video, you need the id code for the video. The easiest way to get this is to look at the URL of the video from the YouTube page. The string of numbers and letters after the "v=" in the URL is the id code. For example <nowiki>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvQScRuZj9s</nowiki>. The id code is '''NvQScRuZj9s'''

You can change the size of the video, up to a maximum of 425x350 pixels. If you set both the width and the height of the video and they are not proportionate, then you will have empty space around the video. If you just want to make it smaller, just set the width and the height is automatically adjusted.

<googlevideo>-2723280415645626938</googlevideo>
 
* Width is set with width="***", where *** is the number of pixels. The default is 425 pixels.
 
* Height is set the same way, using height="xxx". The default is 350 pixels.
 
 
An example would be:
 
 
<nowiki><youtube width="200" height="200">NvQScRuZj9s</youtube></nowiki>
 
   
This gives you:
 
 
<youtube width="200" height="200">NvQScRuZj9s</youtube>

New: November 27th 2006 - Video from Google video can now be placed in Lostpedia using simple markup.
Please note that spoiler content is still not permitted in YouTube videos. Content such as Ryan Ozawa's Lost Updates will be removed, as they contain major spoilers.

Videos of episode content, rather than fan created videos using episode content will also be removed.

What constitutes fan created content

  • Parodies
  • Fan films
  • Content which contains very short clips of episodes, but is not entirely or majoritarily TV originated content.

What doesn't constitute fan created content

  • Music videos - In the majority, this content is entirely taken from episodes, and the music used over the content is illegally used also.

Adding a video

To add a video, you need the id code for the video. The easiest way to get this is to look at the URL of the video from YouTube or Google Video page. The string of numbers and letters after the "v=" in the URL is the id code. For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvQScRuZj9s. The id code is NvQScRuZj9s. For Google Video you need the docid. For example http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-2723280415645626938. The doc id is : -2723280415645626938

Videos are embedded with the code:

<youtube></youtube>
<googlevideo></googlevideo>

The id for the video you want to show goes between the tags:

<youtube>id code</youtube> 
<googlevideo>docid</googlevideo>

So for the video above, the code would be:

<youtube>NvQScRuZj9s</youtube> 
<googlevideo>-2723280415645626938</googlevideo>

This would display:

or <googlevideo>-2723280415645626938</googlevideo>
