::A video is a moving visual image so animated image files are indistinguishable from video files as far as most people are concerned. They're both a bunch of frames being moved sequentially at a certain rate. And how is MediaWiki poor at handling this? Wikipedia and TCRF seem to manage it just fine.

::::Or you can just use GIFs for goddamn sprites. What's the point of using a format that barely anyone supports? If you think people are going to change browsers just so they can play animated images on a single site, then you're delusional.
::::TCRF's articles have inline audio and Wikipedia's articles have inline video and audio so your claim that you ''need'' to present it as a pop-up UI is incorrect. Plus HTML5 video allows you to preload, autoplay, and loop videos automatically. Audio streams are not required either; after all, they're not even allowed on sites like 4chan hence tools like [https://gitgud.io/nixx/WebMConverter this one] to remove them from the files whenever necessary.
