I also think we should be using Video and HTML5video. Video is an extension which allows you to import videos from YouTube and several other video sites. HTML5video allows YouTube videos and local  .mp4, .ogv or .webm videos to be played with HTML5. --AttackedbyGlitch 12:20, 25 March 2013 (EDT)


 * We already have the   tag, is there a pressing need for us to be able to host videos elsewhere? I agree that a HTML video player would be desirable, but I'm a little concerned by the lack of detail in that description, e.g. what will it do as a fallback for unsupported browsers? Besides which, encoding to multiple formats does seem like a drag; the YouTube option seems nice, at least. Either way, that extension requires a higher MediaWiki version than we have, so it isn't currently compatible with the wiki. &mdash; Vague / Rant 12:38, 25 March 2013 (EDT)
