My problem with the videos module is that I believe wikia should aim more towards satisfying repeat visitors, rather than satifsy occasional or repeat anonymous users with a weak and almost pointless (as 454 pointed out, it encourages no visible interaction with the wiki) function that does nothing but tell users "Hey! View more pages on the cool stuff you'll see in this so you can see more ads and get our $$$ up " And besides that, as someone pointed out, some of the "random videos" have almost no relevance to the topic at hand, and are almost useless when it comes to the people visiting the wiki often--someone pointed out the thing about walkthrough videos. Well. My point exactly.

No one wants to see a random video on something that they're visiting a wiki about. Return visitors shouldn't have to use or be exposed to this "videos module". I'm not sure if it's a preference yet, but it should be. I mean, honestly--if I'm visiting a wiki about, say, Monster Hunter, and I'm editing there, do I really need or want videos on the thing? Not unless I want music, in which case I'll go to youtube myself.
