::In other words, {{tl|VideoGallery}} is a somewhat "expensive" template and its additional features (like random thumbnails) aren't necessary when putting videos in problems sections, so it's not worth consuming more resources for something we won't need in that particular section. And about formatting, my long-term goal is having both templates independent, right now they look the same but in future we may want to change the formatting of the Video Gallery without affecting Problems section or vice-versa. I also find our current video templates somewhat messy scattered all the way in different templates (it looked a good way to go when I implemented this initially but it looks very messy even to me now that I'm regretting doing that way in the past), I want to somehow reduce all video templates we currently have into only two, probably {{tl|Video}} for single videos that we would generally use in Problems section or anywhere else and {{tl|VideoGallery}}, for the Gameplay Videos section with its added features like random thumbnails, while also keeping the two independent and keeping usage of the two as similar as possible (for end-users)... - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 05:09, 25 November 2015 (CET)

:::Reverted to using {{tl|YouTube}} for them. The generic {{tl|Video}} template would be preferable.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 07:00, 25 November 2015 (CET)

Looks like dailymotion is broken (i.e. [[2002 FIFA World Cup]]) (or maybe that video no longer exists). [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 06:59, 25 November 2015 (CET)
