Thank you for asking.

Unfortunately the Youtube idea wouldn't be possible for artworks, since they need to be displayed as actual content, like on this page:

As you can tell from the lack of white pixels surrounding the animation above, we actually stopped using gifs a long time ago and we developed code that would allow animated pngs to be displayed on the Wiki. Unfortunately, because of the 10MB limit, the quality must be lowered on purpose sometimes. Perhaps not down to gif-level, but I still think it's noticeable...
