Template talk:NoWalkthrough

Removal of this template
The instructions "Instead of putting down a video walkthrough, you can put down videos of the level..." make little sense; video walkthroughs are videos of a level. Even if someone does upload a video under the title "Walkthrough" for any of the game pages described in the documentation, it could still be added to the page as one of the possible events that could occur in a "randomized" level.

What I would suggest for games that do fit this description is to compile a video gallery illustrating the significantly different possibilities that the player of the game may face. I would also say that games that use MochiCoins should not use MochiCoins exclusive content, however, money-purchasable content is no longer applicable to Nitrome games, and most weapons can be unlocked provided the player collects the desired amount of coins in-game, for example. Videos could also explore the effects of different weapons and tools used in a level, maybe.

With that in mind, I find the presentation of this template unnecessary on pages. Yes, some behaviour of certain levels are randomized, but the strategies to pass them are usually limited to a few per level. As a wiki, we should be able to show these possibilities visually, given time. A video can demonstrate this quite well. We don't need a template telling users they can't upload video walkthroughs - video walkthroughs can work on pages. It's just a matter of how they're presented. 05:24, April 6, 2013 (UTC)
