(Also mentioned I was pretty sure it couldn't handle what I'm going to term "embedded 'files'". I only made the post that got quoted because of the post about not knowing what they were.)

She said earlier in this thread that she was using "add a video" which AFAIK is not Special:Upload. Now I'm confused.



Your Special:Upload link took me to the page that is suitable for adding images, not YouTube videos. That can also be accessed through the “Add New Image” button, which is what I usually use to upload images. (That was why I knew what the link does when I pressed it.) The “Add New Video” button actually takes me to a page that looks like this photo, and because that option apparently does not let me rename a YouTube video, I started this thread.

What I actually wanted to know was how to upload a YOUTUBE VIDEO to a Wiki while RENAMING it. Which seems to be answered by everyone in this thread. I never got the chance to test out everyone’s answers, though, because I couldn’t get access to my laptop. However, I can today, so I’ll try the responses out when I can.

Thank you everyone, in advance.
