Interesting to see an Italian video is the #1 video used across the projects, as it's included in the welcome template to new/anonymous editors on Italian Wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_ridotto.ogv
Similarly, #2 is an Arabic introduction video used in an ar.wp welcome message: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Arabic_Wikipedia_Introduction.ogg
And... the introduction to Tamil Wikipedia is #3: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bala_talks_about_Tamil_Wikipedia.ogv
However, I do wonder how often these videos are actually played, given how OGV and WebM are not widely supported by default.

Hi all,
Interesting statistics, would it be possible to generate these for other language versions as well?
Which language are you interested in? Here it is for nl: https://tools.wmflabs.org/bawolff/usedVideosNl.htm
Wikimedia Netherlands held its new years gathering at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, a great opportunity to generate buzz
around
video on Wikipedia. Some Wikipedians indicated that they would be interested in picking up the challenge of adding more video on Wikipedia. So I am setting up a projectpage (much like the English WP:video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Videos and WP:Wiki makes video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wiki_Makes_Video
on
which we can share knowledge about the production, transcoding and use of video. I would like to generate a list of Commons categories containing video,
but
the search function doesn't allow me to make such a list. Does anyone
have
a suggestion how to proceed?
This is actually a surprisingly fast sql query (under 1 minute): https://tools.wmflabs.org/bawolff/categoryVid.htm
Let me know if those are what you need.
Cheers, Bawolff
