• Adding embed function for videos.

John: I've found an extension that allows for video embed on Wiki pages. Before I install it I'd like you to look at the information page for EmbedVideosPlus http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EmbedVideoPlus.

Note that there is a warning at the top regarding security risks of using the extension. There is a solution proposed but I'd like your opinion before going forward with this.

Solution: strictly validate user input and/or apply escaping to all characters that have a special meaning in HTML http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting#Stopping_Cross-site_scripting
