How To Upload a Youtube Video to MediaWiki

All youtube videos have a unique path and the tag that is given to each individual video can uniquely identify that video. For example, a typical youtube link will look like the one that was produced by the video I uploaded earlier today:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1Si4npT54I. 

What we are concerned about in this example is the combination of numbers and letters that come after the equal sign in the youtube link. In our example, this set of letters and numbers would simply be, "m1Si4npT54I".

To display this video on a wiki that is powered by MediaWiki, the following code must be used with the combination of letters and numbers after the "|" being unique to the Youtube video that you are working with:

 {{#widget:YouTube|id=m1Si4npT54I}}
