As you probably know by now, YouTube has a bunch of spaghetti-related video, from film clips to trailers and more. It's quite simple to add a Youtube video to a SWDB entry. Go to the page of the Youtube video you want to embed. In the URL, you'll notice a unique id. For example, for the trailer for The Good, The Bad and the Ugly has a URL of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxWlpeI9KRk.

All you have to do is use this tag, putting that unique id in between the two of them, like so:

<youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxWlpeI9KRk</youtube>

which will embed the video, so you'll see this:

That's it!
