Well, folks...

Me and Pops Capo have been investigating why the YoutubePlayer template has stopped functioning. Thanks to Pops' extensive examination (seriously, this guy knows how integral the player is to us. Thank him with all you got)--emails to Central, talks with other wikis who utilize this player, among other things--we get to know what's going on.

And the future's not looking bright, folks. Central has chosen to disable the other template for it (Template:MPC), along with every single Mediawiki page dedicated to the player. In short, the player will no longer be functioning, as per Wikia's new security measures. They are not allowing the code to work anymore with the new updates they are making.

Believe me, I know how integral this template is to ours. Let's take this moment to recognize Johno1995 for bringing characters and music together in one page.

You may notice some of the music still works for certain pages; that's because right now those pages are cached. They're displaying a saved version, not a current, up-to-date one.

For now, I suggest you guys start looking into the Default Youtube extension we already have in place. This player will be able to stay at least, since it's from Wikia themselves; and they have already asked us to use this one instead. We will also be looking out for a different custom music player to be made.

The conversion process will suck; let's at least make this bearable. Any questions can be asked down below.

Thanks again to Pops Capo for pretty much doing the whole investigation and for keeping me in the loop. You can also use this time to mob him.
