Help talk:Video Embed Tool

New Video namespace (moved)
What is this? Why do we have a Video namespace? 04:25, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * So mendel could post a video more easily? Because the youtube tag is too much trouble? I don't know, and was wondering the same thing.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  04:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Imo this idea just screams copyright violation. -.- [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 04:35, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Because Wikia thought it would be a good idea. I don't see a reason for it, either.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 06:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

The video is still linked, not copied. The advantages are One disadvantage is that when you add a video via the tool on the edit window (and as far as I know, there isn't a special page for that yet), you don't automatically watch the page. -- ◄mendel► 12:24, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) the link on the page has a name
 * 2) if the video is used more than once and needs to be changed for some reason, you can change it in one central place and it updates everywhere
 * 3) you can see by looking though the namespace what videos are used (better than [ Special:TagsReport])


 * Oooohhhh... so it's just a wikification of the youtube tag for multiple video sites. Well then.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 18:11, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
