Unfortunately Gifs won't work (I've tried). Youtube functionality works, but to make it loop it reloads the video and thus is not seamless. Are there any other ways to add the video without using the video tag, a gif, or youtube?
I agree that Elite makes them very dark, but I would assume that at some point Frontier could provide better looking images similar to what Digital Extremes did for the Warframe wiki. Eventually I'll contact Frontier and see if they could provide us with some nicer looking assets, but ideally I would like to know exactly what kind of assets and in what formats to be asking for before I contact them.
Now as to mobile and older browser support - if those platforms are going to hold back progress then I'm not too interested in supporting them. While I do believe that there should be fallbacks so that they can still view similar content (similar to what I've done with the nav buttons on the main page) I don't want cool features and progress to be stifled just to cater to devices that cannot display certain things. In the future I would like to have features that probably won't be able to be utilized on Mobile or old browsers. For example charts for commodities (example 1 example 2) and item/weapon comparisons (example 1 can be seen in the left table at the bottom).
Sizing the <video> tag with css was my fault - I was playing around with things yesterday and it was easier to do everything with CSS while tinkering with things than to change both the CSS and the MediaWiki page for changes to be displayed. If we do use the video tags the final versions will have width and height placed in the video tag (which appear to be supported according the the documentation I've found).
To your last paragraph - do you have suggestions? At this point I'm not sure what to implement for the infoboxes other than a bit of styling (which isn't my forte).
Edit: Forgot to mention that if the feature isn't liked then of course it won't be implemented.
