could the "missing codec" redirection be more informative?

on a fresh (and barely configured) f12 system, i tried to view my
first online .wmv file and was redirected here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageKit_Items_Not_Found#Missing_Codec
which is moderately informative in terms of telling me what the
problem is, but utterly useless in terms of telling me how to fix it.
yes, i realize the issues surrounding codecs, but would it be unduly
difficult to add to that section some advice on where to *find* such
codecs? you know, point readers at rpmfusion or some such? is that
not a legally acceptable thing to do? because that's *exactly* the
sort of thing that will drive newcomers to fedora totally nuts.
