A while ago, we decided to disable the [[Forum:Removing_the_Related_Videos_module|Related Videos module]] in this wiki. I've been away for 3 days and I haven't been able to catch up with recent things, but apparently, there's a replacement module for the Related Videos now. It's called "Must Watch Videos". Should we keep or get rid of the extension, once more? I'm still in favor with the arguments we had in the old discussion. It's even more annoying than the previous, since it displays even larger preview and eats up a lot of space.

:::It's not in my browser either. Could it be almighty AdBlock?

::::I can only see the module when I'm browsing in content pages; I don't think it's supposed to appear if you're in other namespaces other than the main namespace (and perhaps Fanon and Game Guides, since they're considered content pages). -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 00:16, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
:::::Oh, pfft. Great. I guess only looking at one namespace while ignoring the main one was a pretty bad idea... --'''[[:User:K6ka|k6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 00:19, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
::::::Alright, it appears in the '''main''' namespace, as well as '''custom namespaces''' that we specifically requested from Wikia, namely the "Fanon" and "Game guide" namespace. All other namespaces, such as "Template", "User", "Forum", "MediaWiki", all talk pages, etc (the 'backbone' of the wiki, some would say) are ignored. Personally it doesn't really bother me, but what does bother me is how Wikia seems to perform tests when we least expect it. "Hey, we're testing this new layout. Give us feedback on it". Response: "I hated the new layout because it broke every single template on the wiki". --'''[[:User:K6ka|k6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 14:51, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
Well, I ignore the videos very much, but it's still annoying. I mean, I'm not even sure if anyone cares that module, and these videos don't have any relations at all with any pages we're currently at.

== Conclusion ==
I killed it off with CSS as nobody wanted it and now we don't have to see it. Can't wait for the impending follow up thread for their next unwanted extension! {{LabSig}} 01:13, June 19, 2014 (UTC)
