Note: An earlier draft from that same year can be found here. It is markedly different from this final version, in that it even allowed non-admins to use this tool.
Retained for archival purposes only.

The RVM from the Fifth Doctor's page
The Related Videos Module (RVM) is a part of the Wikia skin which displays a series of videos relevant to a particular page.
However, because this system is in beta testing, it can only be used by those actively beta testing it for Wikia.
Until further notice users are urged to abide by current policy. Do not use the Related Videos Module to upload videos to this site.
