i'm happy to be able to say, that i figured, how to include the thumbnails in a template. (๑'ᴗ'๑) it took me a whole effort to remove the sm/nm for the thumbnail url OTL (sbluen helped with searching for a substitution possibility whoo ٩(●˙▿˙●)۶)

u can see the code incorporated here and it looks like eg this here　☆〜(ゝ. ∂)

however bc the nico thumbnails are bigger than the yt ones, and u cant resize hotlinked images, i used div to "crop" them. but therefore the thumbnail is not centered (unluckily) (. ≖ˇｪˇ≖｡ ) but according to pomme this is not that grave.

another issue is, that for the normal community only video urls (the ones without sm) there are no thumbnails (and the sm ones for commu vids are inconvenient) and for the nosm urls of noncommunityonly videos (which u sometimes get when u eg klick a link on ur nicorepo i think) it doesnt work as well. but the community only videos shouldnt be that much of a problem with vocaloid wiki anyways i think. but just in case, for the template i added, that if theres no sm or nm in the url, an alt pic should be displayed.

about the functionality of the nico thumbnails i think they are still there, if a vid gets deleted (u can see on the worldismine page at chaz' cover). but i think for the utaite wiki this is just right, bc we keep the deleted nicolinks in there to keep track of the video (theres still a description and its sort of a proof that the utaite covered it as well). idk though if this characteristic of nicothumbnails is a hindrance for the vocaloid wiki, but i think having a thumbnail for a deleted video is pretty neat ﾐ(◕ω◕*)ﾐ

crap long answer, but i wanted to tell everything i could figure out (｡´ω`｡) hope my phrasing is clear enough to understand lol (o・ω・o)
