Hey there everyone, it's Sgt D Grif, and once again I unfortunately have to write one of these sorts of things due to the actions of Wikia. One of Wikia's latest endeavors has been to forcibly place low-quality videos on articles across various wikis without the consent of the userbases on those wikis. Unfortunately, we on the RWBY Wiki are among those wikis. As some of you may have noticed, certain articles, such as the members of Team RWBY, Raven, and Ozpin, have autoplaying videos on them. While we are fortunate enough to have them start off muted (except when they glitched out on me once), they are of poor quality, contain factually inaccurate information, and overall serve zero purpose other than to push our community's content down the page and annoy all visitors and editors. The staff here at the RWBY Wiki were not contacted or asked about these videos, nor were we given a chance to provide feedback on them prior to their implementation. We have contacted Wikia Staff in the hopes of having these videos removed, however in the meantime, we have placed a template under each one explaining to all viewers that we are not responsible or in control of them, nor should their inaccuracies be mistaken as actual canon information. We highly object to this course of action Wikia has taken against the will of this entire community, and will continue to protest this until the videos are removed.
