Hi, just wanted to let you know that I wrote a python script to import videos from Youtube into any MediaWiki instance. This only works if the video you are trying to import is available in WebM on Youtube.
The script is at: https://github.com/bit/youtube2mediawiki
Example usage: ./youtube2mediawiki.py -u username -p password -w http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php DWef69ItVrU
A question regarding the import, right now assets are imported with a page template that looks like this:
== {{int:filedesc}} == {{Information |Description={{%(description)s}} |Source={{Own}} |Author=%(author)s |Date=%(date)s |Permission= |other_versions=%(url)s }}
<!--{{ImageUpload|full}}--> == {{int:license}} == {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0}}
%(wiki_categories)s
if anyone got suggestions what should/could be added/changed please let me know.
