AVID:Requests for Comment/Video captions for the YouTube and Vimeo templates

Captions are useful for distinguishing the normal logos from its variants as well as its occasional description of the latter's appearances. In my perspective, videos with the " " or " " templates could benefit from captions more than images especially if multiple are embedded. Like the image gallery, the captions not only help distinguish each video's appearance, but also make one aspect of the galleries easier to navigate: audio/animation differences. If I want to watch a video in the YouTube gallery that contains an alternate song variant or one with a different sequence, it can be quite a hassle digging through each video since the thumbnails and sometimes titles do not describe the featured variant. The captions will be a solid solution to that issue.

Since the embed parameter for the aforementioned templates carry " ", another one should be added specifically for captions (such as " " (desc is an abbreviation for description)) Camenati (talk) 01:37, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

I vibe with this. (name change coming soon) 08:59, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

I mean, we do this with images already. It would only make sense to do this even without having to make an RfC for it, but I still support this. Metronome (talk) 15:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm surprised that we haven't done this yet. We do it with images, but I feel that it's more important for videos, so that people know which video has a specific variant. It saves a lot of time on their part, and it's far more convenient. Overall, this is a much needed change for the YouTube and Vimeo templates, and I hope it goes into effect.

ever. A principle of "mise en place" we needed for this site. Captions are always needed in every single image and video to show what it looks like to the reader. It always does improve the article. ∞~𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮-𝙍𝙤𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙨~∞ (꧁𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙋𝙖𝙜𝙚꧂) | (꧁𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙨꧂) 13:10, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

. This is exactly what I've been wanting for years: a way to easily search through countless videos for what variant I want to see. Dominicmgm (talk) 14:31, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Oppose
I don't think I'm comfortable with this. 08:20 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * What makes you not comfortable with it though? It would just be text underneath the video telling people what the variant is. Metronome (talk) 15:26, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

OHHH!!! Now I'm comforable with it. 08:45 21 December 2022 (UTC)
