Usage

This template automatically links to the trailers on a specified game's steam page

Parameters

Required

• {{{appid}}} - The appid of the game. This is required for trailer linking.
• {{{len}}} - The length of the trailer.

Optional

• {{{game}}} - This is used to provide a link to the game's page on this wiki.
• {{{vp9}}} - This adds _vp9 to the link for trailers that use this video codec. Should be true or blank.

Note:Some media hosted on the CDNs server can be mostly low quality (especially the one that was made prior to 2010), as Steam Media Player has been deprecated, and the originally hosted media is no longer available for download.

Warning:The Appid on the steam page could be incorrect! Sometimes, trailers are put under a different appid than the one listed in the steam page url.

Fix:Right Click a screenshot on the Steam page, or via SteamDB > Screenshot, click open image in new tab, and use the appid listed in that url.
