Lets add the ability to embed youtube videos to minetest wiki.
We can do this with MediaWiki extension that allows embedded videos like this one
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideoThis would help out the minetest youtubers to get noticed and videos be a good visual representation of mods.

Actually Minetest wiki isn't about youtubers, is about the game...
Also:
-The ".gif" or animated png files are good to make visual animated representations of mobs and different things.
What happen with the videos is that they take just too many time to load, and some people don't have a good internet connection, the idea of the wiki (I think) it's be lightweight and fast to load.
Is a good idea, but maybe isn't so good to add it!

maybe it should be a simple video of like, 11 seconds sampling a block, mod, or showing some lines of code.

What happen with videos is the fact that they take many time to load!
That's why i choose ".gif" or animated png to shows things that need to have move!
(In speed i choose .gif but in quality animated png, but since aPNG don't have support in Chrome or IE, i think it's better use .gif)

There is nothing wrong with including audiovisual content to enhance the learning experience, as long as there is a text-based version as well.
MineYoshi, animated gifs and pngs consume significantly more bandwidth per frame than video files of the same resolution and quality; they aren't good at compressing in the time domain like video codecs are. Also, YouTube functions well as a video hosting service; you can even set the video to unlisted and disable likes/comments if you're feeling antisocial.

Then try the HTML5 video!
Now that i realize you're right, sorry!
