Wouldn't that be a case where a direct link to the video would be really useful to a lot of users ? Or maybe I'm just blind again and don't see what's right in front of me. JB --93.231.233.227 (talk) 17:44, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting idea... there's probably some policy/standard/guideline regarding this, but I do like the idea. GoldRomean (talk) 00:01, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
