Revision as of 04:31, 23 February 2022

In general web programming terms, an embed is an external resource, such as a web page (Templates), a picture (Files (MediaWiki)), or a media player (the <youtube> tag). For MediaWiki, and embed can be an image, video or pdf file showing up in your hitpieces
Encyclopedia Dramatica handles embedding content through "extensions", such as:

It also embeds content using core MediaWiki wikitext like [[File:File.png]] for files uploaded through here.

This guide will show you how to embed different media formats from videos, audio to pdfs whether its uploaded in the Encyclopedia itself, or externally through Archive.org, YouTube and Soundcloud and you will embed as smoothly as an ISIS soldier chopping through infidel heads

You can put an uncut header under an embedded picture by putting {{clear}} before the header like demonstrated on the right, or get ugly results because you are a wiki n00b.

Hopefully this guide will fully enable the autism that's embedded in your brain to control the looks of your videos of chopped-off penises, pictures of gaping assholes and leaked government documents.

Before Embedding: Uploading content

You can't embed a file that doesn't exist, which is why you have to upload it, whether its in ED or for videos a video sharing website like Youtube or Archive.org Encyclopedia Dramatica is very lax in terms of content uploading, as long as it is:

  • not CP ,bestiality, or anything else breaking ED:RP,
  • will be on an article or your userspace,
  • and under 66MB, on one of these formats:
    • AUDIO: mp3, wav, ogg, oga, midi, mid, opus, flac
    • IMAGE: png, jpg, jpeg, tiff, bmp, gif
    • VIDEO: mp4, webm, ogg, ogv, mkv, mpg, mpeg, mov
    • OTHER: pdf

If your file isn't under 66MB, you might want to upload to one of these websites:

Service Video Limitations Copyright Detection
YouTube No politics, no slight violence High
NicoVideo 50 videos/channel Unknown
Archive.org No gore? Unknown

Internal Links

To link a file internally (uploaded to ED) you need to do this:

  • [[File:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file
  • [[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description
  • [[:File:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without embedding


[-+][[File:FactCat.png|100px]]


[-+][[File:FactCat.png|100px|thumb|left|hello world]]

hello world

The EmbedVideo Tag

Using the ‎<embedvideo> tag enables more customization

Attribute Required Default Description
service="(see above tags, except pdf)" yes / The video service to call.
id="[id|url]" yes / The raw ID of the video or URL from the player page.
dimensions="[W|WxH|xH]" no 640 Dimensions in pixels to size the embed container. The standard format is width x height where either can be omitted, but the x must proceed height to indicate it as the height.Examples: 480, 480x320, x320. If the height is not provided it will be calculated automatically from the width and service default ratio. Some services such as Gfycat do not have standard heights and should be specified for each embed.
center|right|inline]" no none Align the placement of the video either to the left, centered, or to the right. Inline will allow multiple videos to display side by side without forced line breaks.
description="[wiki text]" no none Display a description under the embed container.
container="[frame]" no none Specifies the container type to use for the embed.frame: Wrap the video player in a Mediawiki thumbnail box.
urlargs="modestbranding=1&version=3" no none Allows extra URL arguments to be appended to the generated embed URL. This is useful for obscure options only supported on one service.
autoresize="false" no true Automatically resize videos when their size will cause them to break outside of their container element
valignment="[top|middle|bottom|baseline]" no none Align the vertical placement of the video either to the top, middle, bottom, or baseline of the parent element. Using this parameter forces the alignment parameter to be inline.

All of these attributes allow you to fully customize your video embed, similarly to what MediaWiki allows for internal vids.
