User preferences
If you do not see the Add Video icon on the edit toolbar, try switching to a Monaco skin in "my preferences". --JWSchmidt 20:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If you're only doing this one time then you can just add the useskin=monaco URL parameter. Example edit URL:  http://somewiki.wikia.com/index.php?title=Some_article&action=edit &useskin=monaco -- ko isuru ( talk ) 10:02, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Many more sites will be supported?
Waiting for support for:


 * http://Blip.tv
 * http://Viddler.com


 * Yup, still planned. Kirkburn (talk) 13:40, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Bug: Unnecessarily floating
The following syntax: Video:YouTube demo causes the embedded video to be floating left, when the image counterpart does not float at all. This is an unexpected behavior and can cause page layout problems. I am currently using the old YOUTUBE tags to circumvent this problem. -Afker All hail AliceSoft! 03:47, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * We'll look into this - thanks! Kirkburn (talk) 00:53, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Support for Hulu?
Please add Hulu to your list of available sites. For all the highly-visited TV show wikis, being able to legally stream full-length episodes would be fantastic.

http://www.hulu.com


 * It's on the list, but the fact that Hulu is region restricted could be somewhat of an annoyance. Kirkburn (talk) 07:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I kinda like this idea...
However, I had a little problem while editing an article in the fanfiction wiki. I tried to add a link to a video on LiveVideo.com, but it wouldn't be allowed. It happened sometime before the year began. But anyway, should LiveVideo videos be supported? L D E J R u f f  (see what I've contributed ) 17:38, 30 March 2009 (EDT)


 * We do not currently support LiveVideo.com with this tool, but we can look at doing so. Kirkburn (talk) 08:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
On the digimon wiki, we have seen a lot of instances of IP's being able to screw with the videos. There is absolutely no way to prevent this, you can only clean up after it and hope the IP doesn't switch too much for you to handle.

From what I can tell, the IP is able to do this by using the "revert to a previous version" button on the video's page.


 * 1) The IP is able to do this without even being logged in, despite all normal policies on uploads, which require logged in users with a few days experience to upload.
 * 2) You are unable to block the IP from the logs, as instead of showing the actual IP in question, the uploader is named as the unblockable "An unknown anonymous user".
 * 3) You cannot delete the article and either restore revisions or reupload it under the same name. The past revisions log will still be there.
 * 4) No level of protection will prevent this - I tested this by sysop-protecting it and then logging out, and it was still susceptible.

May I ask, wikia, why you added a system whose main differences from the normal file upload process was mainly that all security measures were removed? Even those security measures which exist on basic wiki articles? Golf lima oscar romeo india oscar uniform sierra  Charlie Hotel Alpha Oscar Sierra!  08:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the report, but posting the same messages, across multiple wikis/forum/talk pages does not help the issue. Please report problems, concerns, issues or bugs to Staff using Special:Contact as soon as you see them. --Uberfuzzy 22:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
