Wikipedia supports video with [[Media:]] tag. Also, Wikimedia Commons has a little collection of them https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Video > > Does anyone have a feel whether this is likely to change? > > http://www.videoonwikipedia.com Also, this message is more related to Wikimedia or Commons mailing lists (cc:). If you are the owner of those videos and you want to donate them, some people can help you in the process. > Andrew > _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l > -- Emilio J.
