Talk:Policy on Video links


 * Hello and welcome to DDOwiki ! I would probably suggest that you simply embed your videos directly into the articles using the YouTube template. Happy editing! ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 16:24, November 28, 2014 (EST)
 * While embedding is fancy and all, I find it pretty intrusive. Also, the embedding seems to increase loading times of the article. I would prefer a link at the bottom. --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 00:27, November 29, 2014 (EST)
 * Apparently we need to have a larger scale discussion about this. I've posted a request for more feedback on DDO wiki:Administrators' noticeboard/PoI‎. I don't see any increase in intrusiveness or the loading times unless they are set to autoplay, which none of them should be.  I suppose I could modify the template and add some .js to enforce a "no autoplay" policy if need be. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 10:26, November 29, 2014 (EST)
 * I don't like videos embedded either and would prefer a link. (If videos are embedded, disabled autoplay must be enforced.)&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp; Zav &thinsp; (C&middot;T&middot;E) 10:49, November 29, 2014 (EST)
 * I think that I would prefer to just see links as well. I would probably just do that if I added anything. Motas88 (Contributions • Message) 10:37, November 29, 2014 (EST)
 * Just adding my two cents that I also prefer links at the bottom of the article. But I also would like to chime in about the walkthroughs: I think we should reject/remove any videos that may be using known exploits (like finding a piece of terrain where you can range with impunity) and only accept videos that play the quest "as intended". Eg, no invisirunning to the end, or zerging while dropping Blade Barriers. This might lead some new player believe that those are the main/only way to play those quests.
