Why are featured videos used? I've come across more than one or two that are heavily opinion based and possibly contradict canon. If they don't contradict it, then it's more opinion than canon, which, to me, doesn't need to be included as a resource on Wookieepedia. Red Heathen (talk) 03:21, January 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * Their purpose is monetization; or, in simpler terms, they're ugly, intrusive advertisements. That's why communities are unable to opt-out of them and have very little control over them. --RuriRuriRuri (talk) 08:43, June 5, 2018 (UTC)

I never see any featured videos...
I don't mind them much. Don't mind seeing them much. Just get an empty patch where they're meant to be. Don't really care, just felt like mentioning it. I also have 2 propmts in the notification bell that'll never go away. But...you know. I'm okay with it. I once noticed them, on Mass Effect wiki, the Kett featured video. But I'm glad I don't notice that one any longer 'cause it says they're not off the Andromeda galaxy but there's no proof of that, only that they're not from the Heleus Cluster.

Tracking "featured video" articles
Is there a way to track which articles on a wiki have had featured videos applied? The presence (or absence) of a video at the top of an article may influence the format further down the article's page. It could be handy if users, or at least admins, had a way to see which articles on their wiki have videos. Is this already an option, of which I am unaware? -Sitb (talk) 14:02, March 9, 2019 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately we don't have that. If you ever want to know, though, feel free to ask me (and the odds of there ever being more than what's on the list that I provide you are slim so it should be a generally stable list). What wiki do you want to know about? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:16, March 9, 2019 (UTC)

Hi Brandon. Minecraft Wiki is where I first noticed one recently. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of this, but I was just a little surprised when I saw it for the first time on that wiki, and it was applied to a somewhat random article. Mostly, I'm curious if there's a rationale behind which articles are chosen for featured videos on that particular wiki, and how many others have had videos applied so we can maybe spruce up the rest of the article. -Sitb (talk) 10:22, March 12, 2019 (UTC)
