Back when we're implementing this template, we decided to limit the number of thumbnails to 3 because of the crappy Flash plugin that caused slowdowns in pages with various videos (like [[Xenoblade Chronicles]]). From a quick look, a huge part of our wiki have video links hosted on YouTube and currently it uses an HTML5 player by default in major browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, the new Microsoft Edge). Said that, I think we should remove the thumbnail limit (especially now that it's becoming common random users reordering the list of videos when adding new content). Thoughts?

I'm OK with lifting it or minimally increasing the limit. We should test out some of the more densely populated pages first. has 12 separate videos and I'd want to be sure there doesn't need to be some limit still. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 07:02, 12 September 2015 (CEST)

: I'll try to find a way to measure the impact this change could take then report back. Do we have more dense pages? Right now I remember only of [[Xenoblade Chronicles]] and now that you mentioned, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]])
