. . . along with Google Video and DailyMotion (???). This discovery has spawned lots of others. Look, a whole page of third party extensions for MediaWiki.

Fascinating. Love the “torn page” screenshot too. Where’s the wiki it comes from?
That wiki is not for prime time yet
Tease!
Discovering this ability has taken the idea of Wiki vandalism to a whole new level. I need to make sure that I have the permissions thing right, or who knows what videos could start showing up on these pages.
This is a great snag, and that extensions page a perfect stimulus for us here at UBC-OLT as he prepare our own MediaWikiFarm (on hold until we come up with a better name).
Thanks for this, and all the other rich chocolatey goodness that you keep tossing off!

Cool implementation at http://www.ballerium.com in their wiki
Jeff. Actually I think the wiki is cool but it doesn’t use embedded video on the wiki that I can see. Maybe they should try it
Hi, Andy. Have you ever tried setting the MW configuration option $wgRawHtml to true and using HTML to embed videos? I have a secured wiki (no public access, everybody must have an organizational username and password, and even then they have to be on a list of allowed users, just for reading the wiki) that I tried that with. It doesn’t work for some strange reason.
I copied the embed HTML code from a YouTube video and put it in a wiki article. MW just displays the HTML code. It doesn’t matter if I put nowiki tags around the HTML or not. I thought that since this is a secure wiki, it would be safe enough to allow raw HTML, that way we can make simple YouTube MW templates for embedding video and we wouldn’t need any special extensions.
