Detecting Broken Videos
Would it be possible to detect when a broken link is used and add some category to pages with broken links? Currently the pane seems to load an all black preview image, not clear if there's meta-data allowing it to id'd as non-existent.Kolano (talk) 21:43, 29 May 2013 (CEST)
 * I think not, the thumbnail is generated by a parser function, so, whatever you put, the parser function will try to load a thumbnail based on what was specified when calling the function and won't give any feedback parameter/info that could be used to tag it as non-existant... Jhonn (talk)

YouTube Embed Options
Lately, I have been kind of disliking my uploads of File:Super_Mario_Galaxy_Boss_Roar_Wrong.png and File:Super_Mario_Galaxy_2_Boss_Roar_Wrong.png because I don't think they are demonstrating the bug well. I wanted to use YouTube videos instead. The problem is that the videos are too long and start at 0:00 where the bug doesn't exist at that point. There is a solution to this problem and that is parameters for embedded YouTube videos. For example:


 * https://www.youtube.com/embed/_WK7eWBoAqA?start=362&end=370
 * https://www.youtube.com/embed/KELFYCIJrM4?start=13&end=20

What do you guys think? Should the template be edited to allow for this? I tried to specify this in the existing template and it has errors. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 21:02, 23 November 2015 (CET)
 * As far as I searched, EmbedVideo extension allow including more parameters in its recent versions, but we're using version 1.0 where that's not possible. In other words, it's not just a matter of modifying the template, the extension needs to be updated first. I'll contact Parlane about that... - Jhonn (talk) 02:06, 24 November 2015 (CET)
