Just wanted to input my own thought. I personally hated it when the auto-upload method was put in. The tags were a seamless way to inporparate videos on to pages without the need for uploading them. It also allowed far easier maintenance of the file space as it meant less unused personal videos. The fact this workaround has been changed to add nowiki tags without also offering a new way to embed videos without uploading is a complete annoyance. For our wiki in particular, that disallowed uploading personal videos but allowed embedding them, will now have to rework our policy as well as comb over every page to remove non-functioning code.

Overall, I am greatly disgruntled at this change, as it seems to do more harm than good, and simply tries to force Wikis into uploading videos, even if local parties disagree. I had no issue in Wikia wanting to call Wikis "Wikias", but right now it feels like it's trying to force centralisation on us.
