I've had this on my mind for a while and would have responded sooner if I had seen this thread. Some kind of video policy is definitely warranted. I took down a few when all of these video postings first started, but the postings were relentless and I seemed to be the only one that cared to remove them. Since then I've just been organizing haphazard video sections when I come across them.

I don't have a lot of experience with coming up with policy, so I checked the elder scrolls wiki video policy. Parts seem a bit too restrictive for our needs, but some of this makes sense:

"...to take into account when making video recommendations: the relevance of the content; the pertinence of the visual format, i.e., the video is not simply duplicating something that can be conveyed in equal measure with text; the quality/accuracy of the video in question; no use of profanity; no commentary."

I don't think this wiki should be an outlet for youtube personalities to rack up views/subscribers. If someone wants to link their channel/videos in a blog post or on their user page, then that's fine, but I think that should be the extent of it. Does anyone have any thoughts?
