Help pages. As soon as I click any link that turns into a video tutorial, I close the page (and that is not just Wiki pages but I basically out right refuse to view these videos). I usually only tolerate video tutorials if it is something really needed to see visually in real life (and even then I'd prefer a series of images for visual aide) or if it is a teaser/promotion of something not yet released (movie previews, game previews, update previews).

I blame social media for bringing the masses of computer illiterate online. Which isn't terrible but it's when they demand overly user friendly everything (what next Siri for Wikia?). I am self taught in almost everything online, and never used video tutorials. I may be still considered an amateur but I have above Basic HTML, CSS and Wikia code/template skills but it is mostly thanks to Help pages and helpful Users and Staff.

Now saying that, I am so fine with the option for both, but if videos replace help pages I'll be very upset.
