Oppose

• To me, I see this as another step Wikia is taking for making the sites more hip and modern so to speak. I feel the module wouldn't be necessary. Besides, would it possible that it would link to unreliable walkthroughs or contradicting info? I love Wikia, but I don't feel the same about this move.-- 02:08, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
• For the potential benefits that this may bring, we must consider that videos of any kind (besides official content) corrupt the strict objectivity of the wiki's content and dilute our inveterate "no strategy" policy, even if it is not the main point of video. I believe right now we are perfectly fine without it. --Skire (talk) 02:25, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
• The Video Module is on Megami Tensei wiki and it is a huge pain in the butt to manage, and there's really no way to control it until after someone had uploaded somehting undesirable. The YouTube extension is easier to manage anyway. ^Message 02:29, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
