Help:Videos

The Videos Module is found in the right rail of your wiki and contains videos that relate to your wiki. Videos in this module appear throughout your wiki, and help users to discover new and interesting videos to watch.

The Related Videos module is an extension enabled on request by staff.

Adding videos

 * Find a video you would like to add to your wiki. You can grab videos from the Wikia Video Library (which includes high quality video content from our content partners) by visiting, or a video from any of our supported video sites
 * Copy the URL of the video you would like to add
 * Click on the "add a video" button in the module
 * An input box will pop up and ask you to enter the URL of the video you would like to add
 * Add_a_video_lightbox.png


 * Paste the URL of the video, hit the Add button, and the video will be added to the module.

Maintaining and removing videos
If you are an admin, you have the ablity to see and adjust all videos that appear in the module. To do this:
 * Visit the page MediaWiki:RelatedVideosGlobalList on your wiki
 * Here you will see a bulleted list of all videos that have been added to the module. They will be listed as file name, followed by name of the user who added the video and some technical information.
 * If you would like to remove a video from the module, simply delete the line from this page. (Make sure to leave the correct formatting.)
 * Save the page when you are done.

Things to note

 * The videos in the module are randomized, so the order on the list does not matter
 * These videos are wiki wide, not page specific. If you want a video to appear on a specific page, it's best to embed it in the page.
