Forum:Removal of Video pseudo-namespace

Forums: Village pump → Removal of Video pseudo-namespace

I'd like to propose the removal of the "Video:" pseudo-namespace and the subsequent turning off of the extension which supplies it.

Currently, it is only used on about 30 pages, and is basically a duplicate of the functionality which is also offered by the <youtube> tag. Further, the administrators have had problems with people uploading and re-uploading videos; one of the particular issues is that it isn't always easy to find where the video are used. Technical issues aside, I just don't see a reason for it (I also don't see a reason for <youtube> tags, but am willing to be more lenient, as those don't produce the same issues). --Sky (t · c) 00:03, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

No

Comments

I often see users that use the video space never really link it anywhere most times, or they do use it and when they go to link it on the article end up using the youtube tags anyway. SnakeSssssssssssssssssssssssss Coobra sig3For Pony! (Sssss/Slithered) 00:11, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
