Description

I am thinking this format would work well File:Ha.Video-Cutar tarin fuka.webm

File: Language code for Wikipedia . Video - Article name .webm

Event Timeline

@Doc_James I believe we already do that? as in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Eu.Wikipedia-VideoWiki-COVID-19.webm and https://nccommons.org/wiki/File:En.Video-Loa_loa_filariasis.webm

Or do you mean we should remove the prefix Wikipedia-VideoWiki it and replace it with Video?

I am thinking we should go with the shorter version, ie replace "Wikipedia-VideoWiki" with simply "Video"

We already put them all in the Category:VideoWiki so can calculate impact

@Doc_James Sounds good. One point though, EN WP and MDWIKI can have some similar articles titles. If we normalize the generated titles to start with Video instead of the Wikipedia-Videowiki, they might override each other (that is, an EN WP article with title Gout overrides the MDWIKI file of the article with title Gout). Should we prefix MDWIKI articles with something else other than En.Video-? like En.MD.Video-ARTICLE_TITLE

Yes agree with your suggestion to use En.MD.Video

I have changed the template so the new naming is reflected.
