For anybody who doesn't know, [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Rappy_4187/Technical_Update:_June_18,_2013 Wikia converted uploaded YouTube videos to files] on Monday, with [[:File:The Sims 3 Island Paradise - Launch Trailer|this trailer]] being an example. I don't like that they did this and how they did this without telling the Wikia community at large and it seems neither does anybody else but seeing as we're stuck with it, our only choice is to get used to it.

:Hmm.... one thing to consider is whether the video is useful, whether it illustrates some aspect of an article, such as the uses of an object. [[User:Dharden|Dharden]] ([[User_talk:Dharden|talk]]) 15:35, July 24, 2013 (UTC)
::Dharden, if we're going to consider those points, would it be beneficial to categorize video files similarly to what we do now (E.g. a trailer of The Sims 3: Island Paradise would be "a video from The Sims 3")?

:::I believe it would. IMO, if there is any upside to treating videos as files, it is that individual wikis can categorize them as they see fit. [[User:Dharden|Dharden]] ([[User_talk:Dharden|talk]]) 12:26, August 3, 2013 (UTC)
No consensus yet. Bumping the thread. Hopefully we can re-start this discussion and conclude it relatively soon. -- '''[[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>''' 22:17, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
