User blog:NOBODY/Video module on the Nitrome Wiki

So here I am just clicking Random Page, I stumble upon Repair Men. Nothing unusual, I scroll down. I see the "Related Videos" module. Thoughts of wanting to disable this function race through my mind.

I check the Community Wiki, nothing there to disable it. I check Wiki Labs - nope, no "disable" button here. One thing I don't like is Wikia putting new features across a whole bunch of wikis, with no way to disable it. You all remember the "What Video Game's are being released this week module" - right? Probably none of you remember it (oh how it was short lived) - I do.

Mario, Metal Gear Solid, and Need for Speed have nothing to do with the Nitrome Wiki - so why did we have this module? It was probably in beta stages. Now we have come to Related Videos - several wikis have used this, but I don't want to use it.

I was about to go and request for this feature to be removed, but I thought I should first get community consent. Now, it is time for me to express why I don't like this feature.

The reason I want to remove this feature is because anyone can add a video, and this video will be shown globally across the Nitrome Wiki. Anyone who does not like the Nitrome Wiki can now crush us with this video module. "Add a video" - this button allows you to add any video to the Nitrome Wiki, for it to be displayed globally.

This will be finished soon.
