Writing Guidelines
None at the moment.

Links to YouTube Videos in Articles
I propose that we include links to YouTube videos within certain Super Mario Wiki articles, such as:


 * cheats on how to beat certain enemies
 * articles on how to get to secret places
 * how to get certain stars.

Any articles that fall into the categories listed above will include links to any videos that are related to the topic of that article.

I believe that this new feature should be added to Mario Wiki because it will make it easier for people to complete certain levels that they were not able to complete before due to confusion when reading written instructions.

Support

 * 1) I support my proposal to add links to YouTube videos in articles concerning cheats and secrets in Mario Games.

Oppose

 * 1) This is a Mario Wiki, why should we put on Youtube videos to cheat? and we have refrences, no need for videos.
 * 2) This is a Mario Wiki, not a game walkthrough website.
 * 3) Per all
 * 4) - YouTube videos can already be linked to in References or External Links when appropriate. Embedding them would cause issues for certain readers, and scattering links in the articles would look sloppy.
 * 5) Per Icemario and Walkazo.
 * 6) Per Icemario and Walkazo
 * 7) Per Randombob-omb4761 & Icemario11, StrategyWiki is the best place for this idea to go in.
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per all.
 * 10) references are enough. Besides, I think we can explain enough with words.
 * 11) As if people couldn't go to YouTube and look for the videos themselves.
 * 12) Per all.
 * 13) Per voters 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, and 11. So really, per all.
 * 14) – Per Walkazo.

Comments
@Walkazo, as best as I can understand from Gamerboy768, I don't think he meant to embedding them. He simply said "include links to YouTube videos.
 * Yeah, hence my "scattering links in the articles" bit, and the bit about how they're already included in the footnote area anyway. Vague "link to YouTube" ideas might be interpreted different ways (especially considering that we do link to YouTube already), so I deliberately covered all the bases in my vote. -
