Enabling video files[edit]
- Title
- Enabling video files AND Extension:TimedMediaHandler
- Type
- Mediawiki extension
- Reason
- Currently we can only use gifs for animations. They offer terrible quality for their file size. We believe we can provide a better user experience with video files, even small ones. For the moment we're not asking for any increase in the file upload size limit.

- mw:Manual:$wgFileExtensions, mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler, Guild Wars 2 Wiki talk:Requests for technical administration#Enabling video files.
- Possible pitfalls
- —
Since there are two separate parts here I'll spell them out:
- Download and install the extension mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler. Change the $wgTmhEnableMp4Uploads configuration for this extension to "true"
- Add ".mp4" as an allowed file extensions using the instructions on mw:Manual:$wgFileExtensions (the installation of TimedMediaHandler should also add webm, ogg, and ogv automatically)
