Minecraft Wiki talk:Wiki rules/Video policy

I'm just wondering why someone has not yet removed the reference to the Boots of Hermes, as this is not a Terraria Wiki 17:19, 22 May 2012 (UTC) –Preceding unsigned comment was added by TomeWyrm (Talk&#124;Contribs) 17:19, 22 May 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Curse Videos

 * 1) Are the Curse tutorial videos (e.g., TNT Video) in compliance with this video policy?
 * 2) Does the policy need to be changed to accommodate their existence?
 * 3) Do they really need to be embedded, or could they just be textual links (maybe under See Also)?
 * 4) Doesn't having an article section devoted to "Video" encourage others to add videos?

Please update
Can an admin please update this with Template:YouTube and also Template:CollapsedVideo? It still uses the old EmbedVideo extension template. –  Goandgoo ᐸ  Talk  Contribs  Edit count 08:44, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

EDIT: I just saw that the Template:YouTube is there at the bottom, but the other old style of embedding videos should be removed from the page. –  Goandgoo ᐸ  Talk  Contribs  Edit count 08:47, 21 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The parser functions are still directly used for other video services. (Although only YouTube is really ever used.) — Hower64 08:51, 21 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Well at least Template:CollapsedVideo should have a mention on the article. – Goandgoo ᐸ  Talk  Contribs  Edit count 08:18, 22 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I've added a note about it at the end of "How to embed videos". — Hower64 13:33, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Private
Please add the following statement:

"Private videos are not allowed in any namespace, including the user namespace."

Private videos are available only to specific users. 108.210.217.116 18:24, 23 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't really see the point of limiting private videos in the user namespace, it is equal to saying users cannot have dead links or something similar. As for the main namespace, private videos are removed as useless, so we don't really need to make them ban worthy as well (the user could have easily though it was available for anyone). – KnightMiner  · (t) 01:04, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

What happens if I find an video that does not work?
Hello, I found yesterday two broken videos in the tutorial page Tutorials/Animal farming, How do I with the video (s) if they does not work? Can the video be removed, replaced with a working or add notice template to the article? -- Philip57sundfors TALK CONTRIBUTIONS 09:05, 17 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Since they're on a tutorial page, I would suggest immediate removal unless you happen to have a suitable replacement video(s) on-hand. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:47, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Remove "Curse Videos" section
Should this section be removed? No pages have these videos, and the wording makes sure there won't be any: "the most recent version of Minecraft". Also, "to help achieve certain business goals" (ew). More importantly, our overlords are now Wikia, so this policy doesn't seem relevant anymore. – Nixinova   04:42, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
