Yes, I looked up this thread and my understanding then (from March 2012)
is pretty much the same as my understanding now.

The issue I'm encountering is that when I get asked questions about this
(such as "can we use Google's CDNs to provide jQuery to users?"), I'm
unable to point to much more than my own mailing list posts currently.

Meta-Wiki has pages such as
 that fill a somewhat
similar explanatory role. Perhaps a similar page would be best here?

It's fairly long-standing policy to ban outside tools such as Google
Analytics due to user privacy concerns, but it seems nobody has bothered
writing this down. :-/

What about to embed Youtube in Privacy mode?

MZ - The last time this came up was in the context of the Jobvite listings,
and at the time I believe you directed people to the privacy policy. I
don't have the exact quote handy, but I think you said something like the
privacy policy of the site or service collecting information has to be
consistent with the privacy policy of the Wikimedia Foundation on the
collection, retention and use of data.

[Wikimedia-l] Loading remote resources on Wikimedia wikis

[MZMcBride]

Hi.

As I understand it, loading remote resources on Wikimedia wikis (such as
YouTube videos or Google Analytics JavaScript) is not allowed. The basic
principle is that any remote resources must be loaded from domains that
also adhere to Wikimedia's privacy policy (such as toolserver.org) or be
opt-in (such as the recent fundraising videos that were on YouTube, but
carried an explicit warning).

Is this correct? And if so, is this documented anywhere? I looked at
, but this didn't
seem to be explicitly mentioned there. Perhaps there's a page on Meta-Wiki
somewhere? Does anyone know?
