Line 1: {{Forumheader\|Community discussions\|archive}} I'll try to be as brief as possible, since [[User:K6ka\|K6ka]] has already written an [[User blog:K6ka/Featured Videos on The Sims Wiki\|excellent blog]] about the topic of featured videos on The Sims Wiki. For the sake of clarity, I'll quote bits of his blog to explain what has happened, what I'm proposing, and why. Line 49: ==Template solution== While I doubt Wikia will actually listen to us and remove the crappy, unwanted feature from our wiki, in the meantime I've created {{tl\|Featured video notice}}, which can be placed at the top of any article with the annoying feature. The template won't remove the video (as that would be a violation of the ToU), but it will display a stern notice just underneath it telling viewers that the unwanted feature was not added by us. A lot of other wikis, like the Animal Crossing and League of Legends Wiki, have also made similar templates. —[[User:K6ka\|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka\|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka\|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 15:32, February 1, 2019 (UTC) ==Closing== This thread reached a satisfactory conclusion a long time ago; it's pretty clear that the community (at least a year ago) is (or was) firmly resolved against forced implementation of Featured Videos. Since this discussion was held, some things have happened on this front, and it seems that FANDOM is re-evaluating the whole thing. Still, this thread served an important purpose in formalizing community opposition to the feature. Thank you to all who participated. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview\|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview\|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview\|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview\|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 17:33, February 2, 2020 (UTC)
