I could have sworn that text was easier to provide when it comes to people using mobile devices than text. Not everyone has a superduper smartphone or unlimited data/wifi.

"wiki editors are generally experts in the topic, and topic experts are not the target audience for the video."

I don't know about the rest of users, but as a wiki editor, I like to write articles without assuming readers are scholars of whatever the wiki focus happens to be - without "dumbing down" the contents. At best, I try to be mindful of spoilers, heh. Acting in a different matter would be a disrespect to the readers, especially those who land on the articles via Google and its SEO engine.

And then there's how everyone has to deal with the videos popping up regardless of their level of content experience.
