           Summary: Add support to embed commons videos in wikimedia blogs
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: d...@ucsc.edu

Presently there is now way for us to 'embed' videos from commons in our blog
posts. We don't simply want to reference the video files since it can include
community translated subtitles. To address this mwEmbed includes a "share
button": 
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nice_People_MEDIUM.ogv?withJS=MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js

But the <object> tag it produces is striped by wordpress on saving the blog
post. 

It would be fairly trival to either 
a) add a handler to our config:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_embed_register_handler
or 
b) Create a wordpress 'commons embed' plug-in

If this is something we want to do, and will be installed once I create it, I
will make it happen.
