[Mediawiki-l] Embedding Flash

Hi everyone,

My thanks for the responses to my previous enquiry, they have been very helpful.

I have another q: how can I embed a flash movie into a wiki page, if at all?

I thought that I could perhaps do this by adding <embed> to the list of permissable HTML tags. The MediaWiki handbook suggests that I might be able to do this in the OutputPage.php file. The code the handbook refers to however does not appear in my own installation's copy, so I assume changes were made in the latest version that have not been reflected yet in the Handbook.

So, is there an easy way to include flash movies in a wiki? If not, why not? Flash movie files are hardly a security threat.

Thanks again,
