Ban OGG Extension (Not Format)
The *.ogg extension is a generic extension to describe the *.oga and *.ogv file formats. To put that into perspective, that would be like clumping all *.jpg, *.png, and *.gif file extensions to be under *.img or something. To make things more easily identifiable on MarioWiki, I propose that *.ogg be a banned extension for a file of this type when uploading. Sure, MediaWiki can detect the MIME type regardless of extension, but that's not immediately clear when sifting through categories.

To be clear, I am not looking to ban the format, just the one extension of the format. OGA and OGV are perfectly safe. There are around 1,000 files to check and move. Let's get them changed before we end up with a insurmountable amount of files to make changes to. I think Pywikibot can do this stuff automatically.

Categories to sift through:
 * Category:Fair use music samples
 * Category:Fair use video samples

Affected templates that need consideration:
 * - Update it? Code:
 * - Can just add  to   on pages that transclude it.
 * - Can just add  to   on pages that transclude it.
 * - Depreciate it?

Sort of related...do we still need ? I thought browsers supported this by default. -- 17:43, 25 April 2017 (EDT)
 * With HTML5 supported video playback with the version of MediaWiki MarioWiki uses, that feature seems worthy of . -- 18:01, 25 April 2017 (EDT)
