{{Resolved/mini|res| A request will be sent in to Wikia staff to disable the Related Videos module.}}
As some of you may know, article pages have a module known as "Related Videos" which [[Forum:Related videos module coming soon|Wikia activated out of nowhere]]. I've noticed that it appears to list videos out of anywhere (like having a listed video for a console game on the article for [[Elevator]]) and it appears to be tedious enough to not warrant the effort to improve things. Despite hardly promoting it, I've seen a few complaints about it on various talk pages.

==Discussion==
In my honest opinion, that thing can go. The videos it fetches are completely unrelated (for example, I was once reading the article we have on [[The Sims: Vacation|Vacation]] and the first video that appeared there was a trailer for [[The Sims 2: Apartment Pets|Apartment Pets]]) and that thing is useless, like Lab pointed out. I don't get it. {{Template:DanPinSig}} 10:48, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
:I never saw where the "related videos" were all that related. I don't care for it, and wouldn't miss it. [[User:Dharden|Dharden]] ([[User_talk:Dharden|talk]]) 12:28, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
::I say get rid of it. It won't be missed and it's pointless and gives unrelated video suggestions like Dan stated. [[User:HanaGoth96|<font color="#6B1D51">'''HanaGoth96'''</font>]] <sup>([[User_talk:HanaGoth96|<font color="#6B1D51">'''Neigh...?'''</font>]])</sup>
:::I'm completely fine with removing the extension. Like Dharden said, there won't be many (or any) people that will miss it. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 17:17, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
::::I'd love if we can get rid of it. Related videos can still be attached in the related articles manually, via <nowiki><gallery></nowiki> tag.

==Conclusion==
This thread has been open for a week. We've had several users support the proposal and none have come forward to oppose it. Therefore ''consensus is achieved'', and a request will be sent into Wikia staff to remove the Related Videos module. -- '''[[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>''' 00:46, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
