Xeno Series Wiki:YouTube channel

This is a policy, a standard that all users should be aware of and follow. Do not edit this page unless you have consensus about it on the talk page.

Xeno Series Wiki has a YouTube channel, at https://www.youtube.com/@XenoSeriesWiki. While controlled by wiki staff, we allow users to contribute to it for wiki purposes.

Video standards

If you have a video you'd like to see on our channel, provide it to staff in some way, and they'll determine if it deserves a spot using the following guidelines.

1. The video must have a place on the wiki.
   • While having the video be available to anyone on YouTube is cool, the main point of doing this is to have the video be used in a wiki article. If a video doesn't belong on the wiki, it doesn't belong on the wiki's channel.
2. The video must be safe to upload and watch.
   • Our spoiler policy extends to our videos. Don't create videos that spoil things if they don't need to, and if they must, there is to be reasonable warning.
   • Don't try anything that could cause copyright issues. Having in-game music in the background is fine as long as it wouldn't make someone's "clean & complete Xeno playlist". Including remixes or parts of other videos requires permission from the original creator.

Videos that are likely to be accepted include:

• Mechanic explanations
• Demos of bugs and gliches
• Showing off little-known features or interactions
• Anything that's potentially interesting, unique, or useful

Videos that are likely to be rejected include:

• Demos of hacks and mods
• Full cutscenes, music tracks, or voice/SFX compilations
• Anything below a bare minimum of quality

Video usage

Once your video is accepted, it becomes property of the wiki, so don't submit anything you want full future control over.

• You receive credit in the descrption via linking to your userpage.
• You may "edit" the video by submitting a new version; you must link to the current video as part of the submission. If accepted, the old version will be unlisted (not deleted) and linked to in the new version. Try to avoid doing this by making it right the first time.
  • Someone else might submit a new video intended to replace this one. The same procedure will apply. Note that completely replacing someone else's video is probably not a cool move unless your version fixes an oversight or is otherwise drastically better, and staff will take this into account.
• You may request the video be deleted, but you must have a very good reason. Just "I don't want it up anymore" is not a good reason. The most likely good reason would be "this has been proven incorrect", but even then, a replacement would be nice compared to a deletion.
