Template:Video vimeo/doc

This is a template documentation subpage for Template:Video vimeo (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used to create pages within the 'Videos' namespace and is a helper/shortcut to the video template.

Differences in this template

This template is specific to the Viemo service. Vimeo doesn't make it easy to get to the required values. A template generator has been created to do this for you, to use:

While on the vimeo page showing the video, note the video number. For example https://vimeo.com/187501147. The ID number is: 187501147
Goto https://dccwiki.com/generators/vimeo.php?XXXX
- Replace XXXX with the ID number of the video.
A template will be created for you. Simply place this on a new video page.
Fine tune the summary, description, seodescription, set the main article (if available), and validate the keywords.

Other helper templates

There are some helper templates for videos for various service providers. They all mostly use the same syntax, some with minor tweaks.

Example

In this example, the vimeo url is: https://vimeo.com/187501147 The ID number is: 187501147

Goto https://dccwiki.com/generators/vimeo.php?187501147

The output results in this template:

{{video vimeo

The “breakthrough” shown in this video, is that we can use just ONE reed switch, instead of the usual TWO reed switches (“stop” and “go”) traditionally used for two-train “automatic block” type of operation.

This template is a very rough draft and must be cleaned up. Final version after editing:
