To upload a video to the wiki first you need permissions, if you are considered a trustworthy contributor you will get them, if you consider yourself trustworthy you can ask an administrator to consider giving you the permission to upload files.
 
To upload a file you can go to [[Special:Upload Upload file]] link on the sidebar.

[TODO]
To insert a video into an article, first you have to choose whether it fits in the text or on a side.
 
Usually, if the text mentions some steps to take or the video is directly related to a text, it's better to put it there like this:
 
<nowiki>[[File:mivideo.mp4|gif]]</nowiki>
 
If you consider it better to be floating on the right side, you can do this
 
<nowiki>[[File:mivideo.mp4|right|gif]]</nowiki>
 
Or with a thumb and a label:
 
<nowiki>[[File:mivideo.mp4|thumb|This video shows this!|gif]]</nowiki>
 
If you think the video is too small, you can specify a size:
 
<nowiki>[[File:mivideo.mp4|gif|400px]]</nowiki>
