Forum:Bring Back Related Videos Module

Hello One Piece Wiki,

I am writing this to encourage you guys to allow videos back on the wiki. I was recently brought into this series and just started recently editing on here. I do not know why the videos were removed but I think they should come back. I think they should come back because it could probably inform some users updates about the games in English or Japanese and can also update when videos are announced and can show trailers. But I think the wiki should only have official videos, from Bandai's official YouTube channel, Bandai's official English channel, and other official channels that update on One Piece. It would have to be regulated by an admin. Meshack (talk) 21:13, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

IIRC videos were never used in the articles, there was the video module, though, which apparently many people didn't like it and asked staff to remove it. Might be wrong. Personally, I don't think it should've been removed, if someone does not like it he can simply remove it through his personal CSS.

I'm open to bringing them back. Would make the mobile main page look better too with official content. 21:43, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

Strongly against. We just open ourselves up to even more fancontent, whether we want it or not.

Fancontent?

I don't see any reason why we should have video's. This is a site where information is to be put on, none of the videos have additional information that doesn't fit on articles. People are perfectly capable of just googling the vids they would want to see. I think it's really unnecessary and not worth the hassle. 22:00, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

There was a forum (and poll?) about this and we decided not to have them. I don't think anything's really changed since then. I oppose videos. 22:08, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

No poll 22:13, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

You win this time, Kage. 22:18, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

If copyright was seriously an issue, this wiki would already be gone due to adding chapters early and the information Meshack (talk) 22:21, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

Considering that forum was from a year ago people's opinions can change from then. That poll was very close. Had I voted "yes" instead of "no" we would have had videos right now 23:05, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

If this is about the "related videos module", my point is that if some people don't like it, they can just easily hide it with personal css. So I don't see why we should hide for everybody, average reader included. I'm not arguing if it's a nice module or not.

No. Videos do not belong on the wiki. They do not belong on articles where they would just clutter them up where it would be the only place they would be on. SeaTerror (talk) 23:39, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

@Meshack: Are we talking about the related videos module or adding videos on articles?

The concern about video fluff has about the same validity as image fluff; we could easily create guidelines and enforce them.

Videos could very well be useful for things like anime intro and outro pages, but otherwise I don't see much legitimate use for them. So I am neutral on the whole matter. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 01:37, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
