Re: First video script for Modernization Test
I'm not Flightmare, but I had a couple thoughts on the video for Console Commands (Skyrim) all the same:


 * 1) I was expecting something a little more informative. The video is nicely-made, but a "Top 5" list is not something that I consider particularly encyclopedic. The TESWiki has historically taken a very conservative stance towards videos, so anything opinionated or any sort of filler content is definitely a no-go. I don't want to have a video for the sake of having a video; I want it to be a valuable addition to the article.
 * 2) Instead, I was thinking that a video plastered at the top of the page would give an overview on what console commands are in the first place, and some examples on how to use them. I would want a video from which readers can genuinely learn something. So I'd much prefer explanations, walkthroughs, etc., rather than "Top 5" lists or anything similar.
 * 3) A voiceover to go along with said explanation would make the process a lot easier for readers to understand. It could be a step-by-step walkthrough of how to open the console, how to target entities (if applicable for the relevant command), and of course how to actually enter the command. Without such an explanation, I don't see the point in having a video on this page; readers would expect it to summarize the article to some extent.

A video explanation of the topic would be fantastic, but it would have to be done right. I'd like all of our videos to be informative and encyclopedic, not just fluff. Is this feasible? —Atvelonis (talk) 04:46, March 10, 2017 (UTC)
