Hello everyone! This is 3primetime3 months later after retirement. Still feel like a newbie :P Well...I still am not going to be too active here now, but when I was implementing this and revising this idea on two of five of my wikis, I wanted to share it here also! I was surfing over a new template from the Custom Wikia that I thought could benefit the users: template:YouTubePlayer! What this basically allows users to do is to "add a black bar of about 420 pixels wide, that can play as well as autoplay audio from a YouTube video" without affecting the videos section of this wiki. So then when admins are on cleanup duty for walkthroughs and files, the song won't get deleted! Credits to Dream Hacked for making this happen!

Needed pages
Here were the pages that we need. Some can only be accessed by admins. Feel free to make the template look nicer afterwords!
 * MediaWiki:MP (rough source here)
 * MediaWiki:MP1 (rough source here)
 * MediaWiki:MP2 (rough source here)
 * MediaWiki:MP3 (rough source here)
 * MediaWiki:MP4 (rough source here)
 * Template:MPC (rough source here)
 * Template:YouTubePlayer (source here)

Do you want to use it? It's easy! It just needs to be implemented first!

Samples
How does it look? Here are a few places where the template is used:
 * User:3primetime3's userpage on GDW
 * User:3primetime3's userpage on CCSW
 * User:CC-8589934592's user page on CCSW
 * EeveeLover1988's user page on CCSW

How to use the template after implementation

 * 1) As shown in the template documentation, all you need is a YouTube video that you want on your user page and this code.
 * 2) For Autoplay; replace the question mark with: 0 = Doesn't Autoplay, 1 = Autoplay, defaults to 0. Please ask for permission from me on my wall if you are going to choose 1.
 * 3) For Hide; replace the question mark with: 0 or 1, 0=Visible, 1=Hidden, defaults to 0.
 * 4) For Top; replace the question mark with a number of pixels; how far down the music player is on the page from other things, example: 108px
 * 5) For VideoURL; replace the question mark with part of the URL for the playlist that's after http://www.youtube.com/.

I know that most are from CCSW. It's my main wiki :P

What do you guys think about this idea? Is it a good idea for users?

So…hope this will help make more user pages shine! Need any help with the template if this idea passes? I can help you if you message me on my wall and provide me with a link to the YouTube video you want to have on your profile, if not too many things about this idea changes :)
