User blog comment:NOBODY/Video module on the Nitrome Wiki/@comment-3060206-20121008185304

I think Emitewiki2 is the one who said he put in a request for Nitrome Wiki to have the Related Videos module up on our Wiki. He said it in chat, but I assumed he would also get community consent.

I understand that users recently have been uploading videos on Nitrome Wiki that aren't meant to help the Wiki. From what I see so far, the Related Videos module only shows videos that are currently embedded on the particular page, so you're not seeing all videos unless you click "All Videos".

I don't mind having the Related Videos module there, and don't mind if it's not there. For me, it's like saying we shouldn't have the "Latest Pictures" module on the right rail because any user can upload any picture to the Wiki and it will be displayed there. But pictures are helpful to the Wiki, and so are videos, so long as they are the appropriate ones. If we are to keep this module, we will have to have a new policy prohibiting videos to be embedded using the embedder tool so that they do not show up in Category:Videos. This would be allowed because there is the alternate way to embed them, using  tags, which won't show up in the categories or upload logs (at least I don't think so, because there is no File: prefix).
