To configure mediawiki youtube plugin use following steps:

Open https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/YouTube and download extension using download link for appropriate mediawiki
Go to mediawiki base folder
cd ./extensions
Extract downloaded file using:
```
tar xzf <full-path>
```
For example, tar xzf /home/saurabh/Downloads/YouTube-REL1_31-f6252db.tar.gz
Edit LocalSettings.php for your mediawiki and append:
```
#Load youtube extension
wfLoadExtension( 'YouTube' );
```
at bottom of file
Go to special:version page of mediawiki and validate that extension is properly installed
Test by embedding a youtube video and check if it is appearing properly
To embed a YouTube video:
<youtube>foo</youtube>
where foo is the video ID from the URL. i.e. if the video's URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwiNtMsdo1Y, then the embed code would be <youtube>UwiNtMsdo1Y</youtube>.

The steps have been validated for mediawiki 1.31. They should work on other modern versions also.
