i respect what you're getting at and i get that it might be useful to some people, but it should be an opt-in, not an opt-out.

i guess that, for mobile users, it not playing unless you're connected to wifi would be good, but those of us on desktop would rather it not autoplay either.

i dont believe that you managed to miss the fact that people do not like pop-up ads and whether its a wiki video or a real advertisement its just plain annoying to somebody not looking for that.

the people who want videos will not mind clicking on it to make it play. the people who not want videos will mind having to click on it to make it stop.

please just disable video autoplay and be a bit less forceful about all this. also thank you for getting back to my comment, its much appreciated.
