A rewrite of the YouTube template which uses mw:Extension:EmbedVideo. This template has been created solely for testing purposes (at this stage) and is only capable of handling 5 videos currently. The markup is unchanged by default, with the exception of the optional width and height parameters being replaced by a single dimensions parameter. For this parameter, input must be expressed as (width) x (height). The new template also adds an optional description parameter which allows us to caption embedded videos in the same manner as images and directly uploaded videos (finally!). A new t parameter allows you to start the video at a certain timestamp, which didn't work properly with the old YouTube extension. Given EmbedVideo's broader capabilities, versions of this template can be created for Vimeo, Dailymotion, Archive.org and more.
Example markup:
{{YouTube2|id=yuo0EWZMTBc|description=this is the first video|id2=yuo0EWZMTBc|description2=this is the second video|id3=yuo0EWZMTBc|description3=this is the third video|id4=NYkhWaUG5d4|t4=21|description=this is a video with a timestamp (0:21)}}
Output (ignore the "Template Loop" message if it appears):
