OK, I decided to be slightly bold. I changed the modal
video threshold
on en.wiki from 200px to 800px. This means all video thumbnails that
are 800px or smaller will open a modal player when you click on the
thumbnail. If there are no complaints from people, we can switch the
modal behavior to just be the default everywhere. Try it out and let
me know what you think:

I would lean towards more like < 400 px. There are probably pages that
have large videos already, maybe don't need to be re-modal-ized ?
I agree with Erik we should autoplay after you click on the "play"
button on a modal.

Note in IOS, modal popups require an additional click to play if loading
anything asyncronusly. We have done work in the kaltura library to be
smart capturing the click gesture in thumbnail embeds [1]. In mediaWiki
we may need to do something similar if we async load the player library.

But the extra click is the least of our iOS video issues, for the time
being :(
