Hi,

We ran into some issues with the Youtube conversion script not adding the pixel parameter (px in wikicode), so we stopped the script last night. A fix will be released soon to correct all of the places where the pixel parameter was left out.

Also, based on community feedback, we are going to change the attribution to WikiaBot rather than the user who added the Youtube tag. Originally, we attributed the user who added the tag that contained the video since they did make the contribution of the video to the wiki via this tag. We felt that since they added the Youtube tag, they were the user who contributed the video and so should be given attribution in the conversion.

We’ve seen that has caused a lot of confusion so attribution will be switched to the WikiaBot. Once we’ve completed that change we’ll restart the conversion script. Note that attribution to the WikiaBot will only be in conversions going forward, and will not change the attributions from earlier this week. These changes are being suppressed from Recent Changes now and will show in the Upload log.
