The moment I saw Kraddok's amazing new Green Trailer video, I knew our http://wiki.project1999.com/Green page had to have it. So I added a new "Youtube template (http://wiki.project1999.com/Template:Youtube)" to the wiki, and used it to add the trailer.

But then I realized this template would be perfect for another long-standing wiki ambition of mine: a video page. So, I started one: http://wiki.project1999.com/Videos.

Thus far it only has the two first EverQuest Mystery videos, and the green trailer. But my hope was that once I established a format/pattern, anyone else who was interested (video creators or their fans) could "follow my lead", and add their videos to the page.

Hopefully once everyone does that we'll have a great page, filled with tons of fun videos for everyone to watch :)


P.S. I also left a section at the bottom for Twitch streamers, since I didn't think the wiki had a place for them ... but since I don't watch Twitch streams I wasn't sure who to use as an example, or what information to include.

Twitch streamers/fans should feel free to add their favorite feeds, in whatever format makes sense, to that page.


P.P.S. Like anything in the wiki, please feel free to make it better. For instance, if one page gets too crowded, go ahead and make a separate page for each video creator.

Nice! I was actually thinking about some way to add the green trailer last night.

edit: This could bring in a new era of guides in the form of video.

edit2: nice barrel roll addition :D

LOL, that page was my attempt to sell the staff on moving the Play Nice Policy to the wiki. My argument was that they could do better formatting, add fun stuff like images (and now Youtube videos), link to other wiki pages, etc. ... and it would still be easier for them to edit than the current forum page (IF they could handle wiki syntax).

The wiki also makes it easy to lock specific pages, so only they could edit them ... but even so, they didn't bite :( Either they didn't want to have to use wiki syntax, or I sold the idea poorly. /shrug

Afterward I thought about replacing the regular wiki Play Nice Policy page, but when I showed the enhanced version to the forum everyone mostly hated on it (you know our community). So now it just languishes, with no reason to exist, because I can't force myself to delete it :)
