In any case, none of the video on wikimedia sits is
"autoplay" in the
sense that it starts on its own. The video tag itself is set to
autoplay, but the tag doesn't get inserted into the page until the
user clicks. No video surprises. (Unfortunately this process doesn't
give the video tag any chance to pre-buffer the video).
Would it help adding a <link rel="prefetch"> to the first video in the
page?
BTW, the current video handling doesn't work without javascript. I
thought we provided a link in such case. Now there's just an useless button.
