To do

  • Add parameters for presenter, slides, webm, etc. to conditionally output:
    "– presenter name, (slides) (webm video)". See Tech talks#Past tech talks .
  • link could be an interwiki link to commons (though usually we offer this as well as YouTube). The template should use Module:String's sub to check if url starts with http, something like (untested):
{{#ifeq: {{#invoke:String|sub|{{{link}}}|1|4}} | http |<!--
    link is an external URL. -->[{{{link}}} Watch] |<!--
    link is a wikilink. --> [[{{{link}}} | Watch]]<!--
-->}}
