Implement it as an easter egg on e.g. Special:Version! :P

HTML 5 video of NyanCat is WebM, so adding dependency on TimedMediaHandler for WebM player support.

Fixed typo in title

Also appears to be at least partially blocked by bug 28818 (InsertCat problem)

Konami Code to trigger the video player w/ nyan cat in it?

Suggest LATERing the bug until we remove all legacy skins: this sort of thing is only useful in Vector and Amethyst.

Clearly not a dup, invalid/wontfix at best.

I support having this feature being added to MediaWiki. Giving its popularity it's a bit odd to mark it as wontfix :)

If it cannot go into core, perhaps it can be added to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Awesomeness which btw, really ought to be included in the MediaWiki release tarballs.

I can't support bundling this extension, since I want MediaWiki to be less than awesome.

Maybe we can provide a link to «Make your more awesome» to make people learn about and install extensions. :)

Going back to the cats, the license (comment 7) is still a blocker.

Oh please, could I please have one unactionable item less in the list of open tickets? If people really insist on keeping this open, I'll dump it under extension requests.

This seems unlikely; it would require the creator of Nyan Cat to explicitly release it under a free license, or at least give permission to use it here.

Why does this keep getting reopened? It would make sense to close this until the licensing is sorted out.

That is a subtask. You could create an additional ticket and list it as blocker for this one.
