I think that we should ask some people if they would like to work together on a youtube Chanel for the wiki so that we won't have these random reclame stuff. --Basinox (talk) 16:06, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

i think most people only want to promote their own channel. is it even possible to create a yt channel for multiple users?--TheBlackDracula (talk)--

DYKG and TF2 Wiki did it --Basinox (talk) 18:54, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

ive just noticed: curse gamepedia already has a youtube channel with some dayz videos. i dont know who decides over these videos, but maybe we could use this channel too. if not we can create a yt channel with up to 50 admins (ive just looked it up)--TheBlackDracula (talk)

Can you contact them as a admin? --Basinox (talk) 19:52, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

i didnt get a response, but we probably cant use there channel (we would just spamm their feed with relativly boring dayz videos ^^). any ideas how our channel should be named? my ideas so far:


 * DayZ Wiki
 * DayZ Wiki Gamepedia
 * Official DayZ Wiki Channel

--TheBlackDracula (talk)


 * I think DayZ Wiki would be the best name to prevent confusion. --Basinox (talk) 15:44, 29 August 2014 (UTC)


 * channel is up with no content at all ^^. you need a google + account so that i can invite you as an admin--TheBlackDracula (talk)


 * Acount name is Basinox. Channel is mostly filled with crap. I am going to ask a few people who tried to make reclame for themself here if they want to work for the channel. Does anyone object with asking pookie and harrisonhow if they want to help? --Basinox (talk) 16:57, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

no problems with those two, but we should clarify some rules. also i need your email adress (youtube doesnt accept basinox as a name). ive added you on google + so you should be able to message me--TheBlackDracula (talk)

Email: Basdupont@upcmail.nl. Good point, what kind of rules should we handel? I think the person who talks during said video is allowed to make reclame for themself at the end of the video like with DYKG videos. --Basinox (talk) 20:07, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

youve got an invite. possible rules could be:


 * video maker can advertise his own channel at the end of the video and in descritpion
 * no advertisements (sharing the money and copyright managment would be way too stressfull)
 * only videos videos for articles, tutorials etc - videos that can be used in articles for the wiki, therefore no videos for every new patch or lets plays

--TheBlackDracula (talk)

Good rules. Though I would adjust the third rule for if we ever get 1000 something + followers to allow monthly news update to prevent confusion like with this EXP update is going on, but thats my personal opinion --Basinox (talk) 16:24, 2 September 2014 (UTC)


 * pookie would love to help us so thats already one person. He's good at video editing and does quite well himself.
 * So are we going to ask multiple people with several roles, multiple people with the same roll (Like DYKG), or one person? --Basinox (talk) 19:18, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

multiple people with the same role (creating videos). we also need a background pic with a min size of 2560x1440, the dayz wallpapers are to small for that--TheBlackDracula (talk)

also who is controlling the dayz wiki twitter acc? he or she could advertise our channel when its ready--TheBlackDracula (talk)

Well we now also can count harrisonhow in. should I invite one more person or do you think that this is enough for a first round of videos? --Basinox (talk) 16:14, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

ive wrote both of them on google + (need their email too). we should ask more people especially the ones who already posted videos here--TheBlackDracula (talk)

harrisonhow can only participate for money so we can count him out. --Basinox (talk) 15:10, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

I think we should ask pookie if he wants to make the first few videos while we are asking around. as soon as he becomes a channel admin. I also going to invite BondyTV--Basinox (talk) 16:47, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

we should rethink that whole wiki channel thing. i dont have the time to manage the wiki and a active youtube channel, also most youtuber probably dont like the idea of uploading their own videos on another channel.--TheBlackDracula (talk)
