If I may, interject for just a moment? I'm no admin, just an average user here, but I'm all for creating a seperate, seclusive area for video propaganda to assist users here on the Wiki. What Deyvid Petteys had mentioned before on how "90% of what could be contained in a video could be written in text or illustrated with screenshots to equal effect" is very much true. This might not work for everyone, however. Some people might need the use of visual stimuli to help them accomplish their task, as opposed to reading text (bad analogy warning ahead), it's the same as saying that some children are visual learners while others can listen to the information and comprehend it just as well. I personally, have found a few cases where the Wiki was actually unable to help me and, as a result, I had to find a video on the matter. Is this a big deal? Not really, but I would love to see the wiki reach out a bit more and try new things. If we were to implement a professional team of wiki contributors that would be willing to make simple, straightforward video guides to assist players, the wiki would most definitely see major promise and popularity spikes, as it did before. If the channel is wiki-exclusive, I see no issues with copyright; especially since JAIbor had mentioned the "video.wikia.com" proposition. I've no jurisdiction as to what the wiki should do, I'm simply pointing out my perspective on the matter. I'd love to see how guides would expand and how the rest of the community would percieve the matter.
