    Related Videos pilot

    I was wondering if Amalur Wiki was removed from testing the related videos module. It seems to have disappeared about 5 days ago. All the relevant pages are still present and otherwise the wiki seems to be working as it should. I have to say the new module fits great on our wiki since there's a lot of user video content e.g. on youtube that can help illustrate walkthroughs/item locations/etc and the module helps keep articles free of video file clutter.

    I'm writing here as you were the one who advertised the pilot on our wiki.

    Cheers!

      Hi Gyumaou, It seems that the Related Videos Module was taken down as it had some problems on the Amalur Wiki (it showed 0 videos for multiple pages). We think the issue has been resolved and are going to re-enable it today. Sorry for the inconvenience.

      Oh, well, the ) vids is my fault, of sorts. We decided the pre-populated videos (3 trailers) were not necessary on each and every page of the wiki, so I removed those three from the global video list.

      We had issues where we could not remove the pre-populated videos from some pages (on a per-page basis), and later we decided that instead of removing them per-page we're better off removing them altogether, and re-adding where necessary.

      The reason for the problem seems to lie in order precedence between the individual pages and the global list. The entries in the global list seem to take precedence over individual pages in the RelatedVideos namspace. Thus, blacklisting a video on an individual page will have no effect if that video is whitelisted in the global list.

      I've also posted some suggestions regarding the module on your wall on Amalur wiki, don't know if you had a chance to look at the message. The first two posts relate to the above problem (so ignore them), the third is suggestions.

      Cheers, and thanks for responding!

      Hi Thomas! I added the background using CSS, which I added to MediaWiki:Wikia.css on the wiki. Just replace the URL below with the URL of your image, and you should be good to go! 

      .MainpageHeaderWarhammer {
     background-image: url("http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/f/f0/Wiki_Header.png") !important;
}

      Thanks, that's really helpful. I've just started getting my head around CSS.
