Here's some gifts to make your next year of troping even more wonderful:

  • Recent Changes Log Filter - For everyone annoyed when spammers try to register in drove and their user creation stuff clogs up recent changes, this add an option to RC to hide all user creation logs to keep things somewhat cleaner in RC.
  • PageTriage - Your new and improved New Page Patrol (check the link of the same name on the sidebar). Allows anyone to see all new pages in the main and user namespaces, great for sussing out spam or new pages that need help. Somewhat Wikipedia specific (the help pages point to theirs), but the filters will work just fine for ATT in figuring out what new pages need attention.
  • EmbedVideo - Due to issues reported with the Widgets Youtube embedding, this is an alternative video embedding extension, with support for over twenty different video services. Check the page for the extension for better instructions.
  • MultiUpload - This extension allows for the uploading of multiple files at once, perfect for speeding up uploading tasks.

Please report any issues with these extensions (not already mentioned on the extension pages) to the Tech Wishlists and Bug Reports forum.

Also, happy New Year and even happier troping everyone. :)

Attempted to implement it in Turns Red. No good.

I just enabled it. Give the server a few hours. If it still doesn't work, I'll look into it.

The videos are fixed. Turns out we had permissions settings for the server set to disallow youtube embeds, John modified it so they'll work.

This should fix the Widgets version of embedding as well.

If you see John, tell him thanks for me.

FYI, if you need further exceptions added, let me know. I just modified our nginx setup to allow dailymotion videos, submit further needed exception to the Tech Wishlists and Bug Reports forum.

Wow, I already got the clip deleted from YouTube.

YouTube really is run by chicken-shits. Can't post a 1:05 clip of a movie everyone and their grandmother has already seen, no sir.

Well YouTube works just fine, but DailyMotion embedding still doesn't seem to work. Honestly, if it's at all possible, I would rather use DailyMotion to upload videos for All The Tropes, since YouTube is much more capricious in its takedowns.

John's fiddling with the nginx setting right now, so I'll have to get him to re add my changes tomorrow (he had to remove them during his own tinkering).

In the meantime, just comment out the video's you wnt from DM, and I'll get back to you when it's enabled.
