The number of actual unique videos used in articles was 3,100, removing duplicate uses of videos in multiple articles. Overall, the number of videos used in English Wikipedia articles is fairly low, at a rate of 0.1%, when compared to the 4.2 million articles in January 2013

>>Are you looking for a list of articles with videos? We can probably do that now with a db query (there may be a small number of false negatives on the ogg front, but probably 98% of them can be identified from db. Gifs present a complicating factor but probably still do-able.).
