Can you embed things from the web in wikia? —This unsigned comment is by Boborjoe (wallcontribs). Please sign your comments by adding "~~~~" in the source editor.

If I remember correctly, you can't embed an external image, but you can embed videos. There's a button above the edit window that allows you to do this. Also visit w:c:help:Help:Video Embed Tool. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 19:56, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

no, i meant like an embed code, like an embed code from a game or youtube. —This unsigned comment is by Boborjoe (wallcontribs). Please sign your comments by adding "~~~~" in the source editor.

But the embedding tool I mentions does embed videos from YouTube… --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 20:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, there are generally security issues around embedding flash content, especially as wikis are open editing. Kirkburn  talk  contr    15:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
If your an admin on that wiki you can do anything. I embeded a flash music player in the bottom of the navigation bar on the wiki i admin. The users can edit a page that tells the music player what to play. --Deo Favente 20:03, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
