Yes, thanks SQhi. NOBODY already showed me the link. --  20:48, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Untitled
Hello NOBODY, would like to ask about your recent removal of youtube tags. If I read the staff blog post correctly, youtube tags are going to be outdated, and all youtube videos embedded by the tag would be automatically uploaded unnecessarily to Nitrome Wiki. (pardon the adjective and adverb overload!) This is bad... SQhi&bull;(talk)Wiki Planner 15:58, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

What are you asking me about? You asked why I was removing the youtube tags, and then you answered your own question. -- 21:28, June 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, I foresee a conflict with our rule of only embedding non-official videos, as any videos embedded would now be automatically "uploaded". SQhi&bull;(talk)Wiki Planner 15:30, June 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've eliminated all Youtube tags that would upload off topic videos (the page hasn't updated yet, but if you go to all places where Youtube tags are used, you'll see how they are either not used for embedding, or have been removed). -- 19:43, June 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Considering the number of users that have embedded videos on pages in the past, I don't think it's right just to remove them and leave it at that. We owe the community some sort of explanation and at least a workaround solution to this. 22:42, June 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * But there isn't a work around solution, unless the video policy is modified. Should I place some templates on pages that have had their video reduced to a link? -- 22:57, June 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * I personally think we should have waited, and brought it up as a discussion instead of just editing others' blog posts and user pages. It's almost like an invasion of property, and done without warning, too.


 * There is a workaround solution, actually. I've seen several templates on various wikis that allow users to embed a YouTube video like before. However, it requires adding additional JS. 23:01, June 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * The only reason I rushed was because I thought the videos would be uploaded immediately, as such, an admin not knowing about the situation may delete the videos (the most plausible answer). -- 23:44, June 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, we do have to let the community know, to justify our actions, for accountability, and to make the community aware of the change in function of the tag. Ayernam was unaware and ended up uploading videos to the wiki a few days ago. ~
