Can we use videos on pages? Just like images? Or maybe an embedded youtube video? If yes, how to?
Thanks :)

It is possible, but can I ask of an example of what your thinking? --

Well, recently I was looking for a new home for my toon and wanted to see other houses. Since we have now so many locations (Freeport, Gorowyn and Neriak for evil toons), it would be faster to take a look at the houses offline and not visit them with toon. And I couldn't find such information and thought about videos showing empty houses (using "Tour" house access for example, you know). Of course it is possible to do a screenshots instead, but for 5-7 rooms houses, this is not really efficient, hard to see the whole picture. That's the only application I see for now, not THAT popular I have to admit. Maybe I'm thinking too much? :) --

- No, thats actually a great idea. but it takes time for /someone/ to record the videos, and cut them and upload them. If you have the time+setup to do so, we would greatly appreciate it. See Help:Displaying_videos @ WikiaHelp for how to embed them. -- Uberfuzzy 13:51, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Okies, made several videos of Freeport, Neriak, Gorowyn and Qeynos houses and uploaded to Youtube. Now when adding them to wiki I came across another problem that I do not how to solve: both Qeynos and Freeport has same names for housing floorplans. For example A three room house, version 1 . But currently in wiki it is only Freeport version. How to add Qeynos one if its with same name? Daear 12:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thankyou for adding the video. They look great and I'm happy we have them here now. When you find articles of zones with the same name, we differentiate them with a parenthetical comment at the end that distinguishes them. In this case, the two would be:
- We would then also change the page A three room house, version 1 to a disambiguation page (with the {{disambig}} tag on it) that listed both of the above links on it so that people know there are two versions.-- Kodia 20:52, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for clarification, did everything as you said now and it works just fine (as supposed to). Kelethin, Majdul and 2-room Freeport houses (missed those) left to do, which I will continue next weekend -- Daear 09:34, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thankyou for taking this one. It's something we've wanted to see for a very long time and it's very much appreciated. Would you mind if we posted something in the news articles to announce the additions when you've completed them?-- Kodia 13:11, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

- Sure, why not. I'll post here somewhere next week (probably will not be near computer with EQ till next Friday though) when I'll finish with "housing tours". -- Daear 16:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Ok, looks like I'm finished with making/uploading/linking images. -- Daear 17:09, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notice!-- Kodia 02:04, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
