Terraria Wiki:Video policy

The  is a policy that describes the best practices, dos and don'ts, musts and can'ts about videos on the Terraria Wiki. This Policy applies to the "Mainspace" (article space). For the "Guide Space", do as you feel is most appropriate.

When to use them
Embedded videos are only permitted in articles when an animation is necessary to illustrate the page, and an image alone cannot fulfill this role. Examples would include the moving or attack pattern of enemies, the spark effect of Certain game elements, the run distance before the Boots of Hermes kick in etc...

Video Contents
Embedded videos should be completely neutral, and entirely illustration, preferably without voiced (or written) comments, and re-usable in our alternative-language wikis. The video at Parallax is a good example of what we are aiming for.

How to Embed Videos
We use the Extension:EmbedVideo to display videos. This is a short usage description, a fuller description can be found at the Extension page:
 *

We currently do not have any guidelines to size or position. Please use your best judgment.

Other Videos
We accept other videos on the wiki, provided they are relevant: Strategies, Reviews, Guides etc...

Placement
Any video which does not qualify for the embeded criteria MUST be included as a textual link in a dedicated == Related videos == section", For example:

 == Related Videos == 
 * Eye of Cthulhu Video guide
 * Eye of Cthulhu Speed kill
 * Eye of Cthulhu Speed kill Without a Star Cannon

Note1: A template might be provided in the future to standardize this display

Note2: Displaying the name of the external service is recommended, eg: Eye of Cthulhu Video guide (youtube)
