Forum:Auto-upload petition

As some of you may be aware, using the tags will now cause a video to be automatically uploaded in its place. I find this to be quite an annoyance as A: we were never directly told this would happen, it may of been on a blog on the main site, but it was never given any kind of wikia-wide notification like some other updates. And B: it causes a lot of hassle with maintenance, since it automatically uploads itself without any categorisation, and given the amount of personal videos there on the wiki, this is easily going to flood us, and the Recent Uploads log. Also to make things more annoying, personal videos are banned from upload per our local policy, as such, whenever a user auto-uploads a personal video, they're unwittingly breaking a policy. Now the reason the policy was put into place was for maintenance reasons, so we don't have to constantly check for unused videos as people changed their userpages around. While we do have Special:UnusedVideos now, it is now an extra page we have to check like Unused Images, and while it may be quite empty now when it was first brought in it was full of videos that people had uploaded and discarded and forgot about.

Anyway, to get back on topic, I have already contacted Wikia about having an option for us to turn it off locally, or turn it off all together, this forum is just a signing petition to showcase it's all of us that want this new 'feature' gone, and not just one or two of us. 17:52, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
