Template documentation | Do not use this template to link to material that violates copyright law. Links to such material must either be replaced with a non-copyvio link or removed immediately. NOTE: A YouTube video uploaded by a user with a verification check mark badge, indicating that it is an official channel of an established creator or organization, does not fully guarantee that it complies with copyright and fair use laws. |
 | This template is used on approximately 65,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
This template is used to create an external link to YouTube in the ==External links== section. It may also be used for other YouTube links such as those in {{External media}}.
This is not a citation template. Use {{cite AV media}} to provide bibliographic citations in footnotes. Alternatively, use {{cite news}} if the video is a newscast, or {{cite episode}} if the video is in an episodic format.
