The videos aren't "on" the pages in the traditional sense, there's coding somewhere that only Wikia has access to that causes them to be displayed. Otherwise people would merely edit the page and remove the video itself.

I was hoping the backlash they received a couple months ago when they pulled this stunt on Nukapedia would deter them from doing this again, or at least that they would learn from the criticisms they received there. Users there were not pleased in the slightest with the poor quality of the videos, the factual inaccuracies of them, the fact that the communities were not consulted in any shape or form during any step of their creation and implementation, and the fact that they're large, obtrusive, and play automatically.
