This still doesn't work with latest youtube-dl.

PS E:\>

I'd think that Wired is not really a niche site.
From supportedsites.md

CondeNast: Condé Nast media group: Allure, Architectural Digest, Ars Technica, Bon Appétit, Brides, Condé Nast, Condé Nast Traveler, Details, Epicurious, GQ, Glamour, Golf Digest, SELF, Teen Vogue, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue, W Magazine, WIRED

Other Conde Nast sites tested by me not working right now:
Vanity Fair (vanityfair.com & video.vanityfair.com)
Vogue (video.vogue.com)
GQ (video.gq.com)

Errors: youtube_dl.utils.RegexNotFoundError: Unable to extract video id;

Note: Some of these sites (but not all, and there are some exceptions apparently) display videos hosted on The Scene, a video platform also owned by Conde Nast and supported by youtube-dl.
If you follow through and use the link with thescene.com, it still seems to work.

Edit:

Also not working
Epicurious (video.epicurious.com) : youtube_dl.utils.RegexNotFoundError: Unable to extract video id;

Ping @dstftw @yan12125

In the meantime, maybe update supportedsites.md to reflect that Wired is not supported right now, for the sake of consistency?

• [condenast] Fix extraction (#14196, #14207)

[yan12125]

Thanks for calling back. However, support for wired.com is still broken.

maybe update supportedsites.md to reflect that Wired is not supported right now

There's a _WORKING mark, which applies to the whole extractor. In other words, if _WORKING = False is added to condenast.py, all related websites will be marked as broken. A fine-grained _WORKING mark is necessary for that.
