Allow warning/disclaimer screens from YouTube channels on the wiki

This needs no introduction. They share many similarities with warning screens on physical media and consoles (the format generally used for text, they are related to the YouTube channel in question, etc.), so this idea really wouldn't be absurd at all. We already have those warning screens, so it's only logical to go all-out.

If we do this, we'd probably have to change the name of the "Warning Screens" portal to "Warning and Disclaimer Screens", as they're extremely similar to one another. YouTube notability guidelines obviously apply.

Support

1. Support Tho it should be more for TV shows, kinda like South Park. I can see AVID using these. (GET OUT OF MY HOUSE) 19:37, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
2. Support I could probably get behind stuff similar to that of Nathaniel Bandy's warning screens from some of his videos, as most of them can count as variants of one another and they have audio. (• USER TALK! •) 21:27, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
3. Support makes sense. We already allow most YT Channels over 1M here, so documenting other parts of their branding on the wiki seems like a no brainer to me. EMG/Ram (She/They) (Let's Chat!) 00:24, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

5. Support I could get behind this. The only rule is that their channel has to have over 1 million subscribers and of course have a disclaimer. User:UnknownFromKnuckles

   For the record, if you switch your opinion, make sure to use the strikethrough. Example: <s>This is an example.</s> = This is an example. · Talk · Edits 01:16, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

6. Support Nothing to say others didn't, other than this does make sense. | (lets play football) 17:16, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose Wouldn’t this make the whole point of the wiki too vague? User:UnknownFromKnuckles

   I fail to see how that would be the case. Typically these are tied to the branding of YT Channels, and if their intro's are allowed on the wiki, then why not other elements of their branding? EMG/Ram (She/They) (Let's Chat!) 00:24, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

   Remember when that person asked that the wiki add skits and someone else said that it would make the wiki too vague? That’s how I feel about this RfC. User:UnknownFromKnuckles 07:54 (CHICAGO TIME)

   that's not the same thing. Skits are not a form of audiovisual identity, whereas disclaimer screens and warnings are. EMG/Ram (She/They) (Let's Chat!) 14:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

   Well put. We already have home video warning screens anyway. · Talk · Edits 15:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

   Aren’t home video screens enough? I just feel like it would clog up the wiki with fake logos. User:UnknownFromKnuckles 03:43 (Chicago time)

   What do fake logos have to do with anything? Again, how is this any different from incorporating home video screens? Company Bumpers Wiki was shut down due to a lack of maintenance. · Talk · Edits 00:28, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

   I’ve realized the error in my ways and I have switched sides. User:UnknownFromKnuckles 07:29 (Chicago time)

Comments

 Comment: I hope this RfC closes soon. I like the idea, it’s just that it’s unanimous and we all like it.
