Talk:Wikia Video Library FAQ

This page says: "Since we have an explicit partnership with the video provider, it means your video won’t suddenly disappear"

When this feature was introduced, I refused to allow Wikia Staff to put these videos on wiki I administrate, because of pre-existing wiki policies regarding Video content. One of the points made in that Video policy is that external videos may be deleted at any time.

Wikia Staff tried to convince me to use the Wikia Video Library by telling me: "the vids are wikia-owned, meaning there's no danger of them being deleted".

Apparently, all of them are completely gone, and videos.wikia.com doesn't even exist any more. Although, Special:WikiaVideoAdd still links to "FANDOM Video Library".

My explicit concern was that Videos may be deleted, and Wikia Staff outright lied to me about that very thing.

I feel sorry for the wikis who went along with this and ended up with a bunch of articles containing dead videos.

(I don't know how long ago this feature was abandoned, because I never used it. I just read my old talk page conversation about it and was wondering how this feature was doing.)  452 03:38, April 26, 2019 (UTC)
