Two further questions about the video conversion. One: will it break templates that have youtube tags in the template and ask for only for a video ID as the parameter? Will functionality of youtube tags be disabled entirely? Two: will it be possible to change the local name of Wikia Video Library files?

I'm excited for tools that will help clean up and manage videos. Seeing them more as a legitimate part of the file namespace to be monitored just like anything else will require some cleanup (for example, videos that are duplicates but don't come from the same YouTube ID). Also, I do like the fact that page load times will be improved. Great idea on that front.
