I'm wondering what people have found to be the best practices for identifying video in Wikipedia articles.

A number of issues:

- One of the problems is the OGG is a container, so simply parsing article Wikimarkup may not be sufficient to identify video content.

- You can go by category, but this is not always fully accurate

- Are GIFs that are animated considered video? Some are, and some aren't.

I would argue that 'motion image' should be the criteria from a viewer/reader perspective, which a library should be serving, so I would say that they should be included.
 

Interested in hearing what people think, or whether we have a taxonomy of video types that are well defined.
