It would be nice to include the <iframe> embedcode for videos in PhotoCommons as well.
<iframe src="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Folgers.ogv?withJS=MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js&embedplayer=yes" width="240" height="180" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Needs some cross-browser testing and checking if videos are returned in the search results.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
And for the same reason we use shortcodes for images, the iframe code should be generated indirectly via a shortcode so that the <iframe> code isn't hardcoded in the post.
Perhaps detect from the filename if it's a video or introduce a seperate shortcode
ie.
[photocommons file="Folgers.ogv" width="240" height="180"] (as for images, internally switched for iframe-vid or img-tag))
or a seperate shortcode:
[videocommons file="Folgers.ogv" ... ]
