 ::::::Here's the code for my template, in case you decide to fix "YouTubeVid", which would be the best call (I don't want my userspace edits to be merged with mainspace): <nowiki><div>{{#ev:youtube|{{{1|1}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}|{{{4|}}}|{{{5|}}}}}</div></nowiki>. Parameter 1 is the ID, 2 is for the dimensions, 3 is for alignment, 4 is for descriptions, and 5 is for wrapping the video player in a MediaWiki thumbnail box using <code>frame</code> ([https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo#Attributes_for_Parser_Tags source]). In a way, it's like what we do with images. [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 16:34, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 :::Can you also update the interwiki link table so that [[Template:Jwp]] uses HTTPS as well? [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 16:35, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
+:::::::@SnorlaxMonster: While your fix works fine for Bulbanews, it's not something we can use on Bulbapedia as we're trying to avoid extraneous use of parser functions on articles due to their negative effect on load times. The changes I made to the templates work, but require the articles to be modified slightly to get back up to date.
+:::::::@SatoMew2: The names aren't pointless, and you really need to drop the crusade against them. Bulbapedia strives to attribute the videos '''before''' the reader uses the play button. The EmbedVideo extension is not to be used, and only remains installed for legacy purposes, the only approved embedding format is {{template|YouTubeEmbed}}. Your "template" will not be used. {{template|YouTubeVid}} will not be updated to include videos again, as it's been replaced by {{template|YouTubeEmbed}} for cases where embedding is necessary. {{template|YouTubeVid}} should be used in cases where there's too many videos, and some have to be relegated to being linked instead of embedded (for load time purposes). The jwp interwiki prefix has been updated. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:47, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

 :We have no interest at this time to use Vector as our default skin, we're happy with Monobook.

 ::OK, but could you apply [[Template:Bulba color]] or its variants to the background of both MonoBook and Vector? It will fit with the wiki's identity better. As to the ads, can't you at least enable them for Vector? [[User:SatoMew2|SatoMew2]] ([[User talk:SatoMew2|talk]]) 06:56, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
+:::Changing the background colors of the two skins is quite minor, but we'll consider some options if we have time to spare on it. As for ads, I am not able to add them to Vector, as the ads are handled by our server techs. If you want to suggest ads being on Vector, you will need to go to Archaic. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:47, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
