For the wiki, should youtube videos not have curse words. GalladeBlades

Do you mean actually saying the word or bleeping it out? GalacticPetey

I think he means both. Cat91x (talk)

Nah, you can just add something like "Warning, this video contains swearing." --™ The 'Shroom 20:18, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Do we need permission from the YouTube users if we would like to upload one of their videos, or is it perfectly fine to just upload one freely? Ragazzo 21:10, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Nope, you can freely use them. --™ The 'Shroom 02:00, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Wait a second!

Wait a second! Whaen I put that code onto my userpage it made Super Mario Sunshine Level Select! I'm not mad, it's just that was not what I wanted. Superfiremario 07:22, 9 April 2011 (EDT)

"YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOULD ONLY BE EMBEDDED IN YOUR USER PAGE, NOT ON ANY ARTICLE, TEMPLATE, OR ANY OTHER MAINSPACE." is a lie

I have seen plenty articles with walkthrough videos from youtube. --Walleo 18:12, 31 May 2012 (EDT)

Hi everyone! I'm just wondering, can User:YoshiKong/Youtube become official? It would be good because videos can be embedded into the expandable template, so it doesn't take up much room on a page.

Current MarioWiki YouTube embed policy only allows us to embed videos on user pages. It got me thinking about how we can have the ability to embed YouTube videos be more useful for MarioWiki instead of for personalization only. The only thing that came to mind were Glitches and each game having their own documentation of glitches. Some glitches are hard to perform just by reading it. Some glitches benefit by watching a demonstration, especially if precision or timing is concerned. We could use OGG/OGV/OGA or GIF, but the limit is 10MB as YouTube videos are much less restrictive. We have always used <ref></ref> and <references/> (citations) to link to videos but that could be easily missed or overlooked. {{Fakelink}} used to simulate citations to show how small those links are:

• Glitch^{Template:Fakelink}

Here's an example of where an embed of a YouTube video could be better demonstrating a glitch using the Sneaky Parasol:

• Video
• Picture
• Documentation

Allow YouTube embedding on glitch pages

1. Wildgoosespeeder (talk) I'm curious as to what other people think.

A GIF, OGG, static screenshot, or citation to a YouTube video is sufficient

Comments

• There could be integrity concerns. Should we have a template or have a special page type similar to MediaWiki File pages to keep track of allowed MarioWiki main article YouTube embeds? Maybe we can adopt YoshiKong (talk)'s template idea (User:YoshiKong/Youtube) that hasn't been talked about since 2012.
• Should MarioWiki have an official YouTube channel to ensure quality uploads so they aren't susceptible to YouTube's audio swapping feature for example?
• What other concerns could be raised with this proposed policy change? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:47, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

There must be an option for no changes to be made. Keep using citations, maybe. --™ The 'Shroom 16:21, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

I thought that was option #2? I guess I wasn't clear enough with option #2. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:27, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

Just a heads-up, We actually don't remove glitches even if they have no reference, so nothing is sufficient in some cases (even though it's super encouraged to upload at least a screenshot), this proposal should deal only with the embedding idea, thus renaming the second option to "do nothing" is better.

I personally feel that having the embedding will cause the loading times to lengthen, but more importantly, it will also flood the pages extremely, but hey, why don't you create a draft so we can see how this looks like?--
