:Including a shot from the "Next Time" trailer would be a rather large point of difference between the new and classic series. | :Including a shot from the "Next Time" trailer would be a rather large point of difference between the new and classic series. | ||
:Also...wouldn't having the Next Time trailer image only be useful for 6 days? After that readers could click through to the next story. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 17:01, May 15, 2011 (UTC) | :Also...wouldn't having the Next Time trailer image only be useful for 6 days?

::Well, I don't know specifically about the "Next Time" trailer. TD may well have a point that it's kinda time-specific. I disagree that we need to protect people from spoilers, since users have to choose to play it. Where TD may be on to something is that the "Next Time" trailers aren't necessarily illustrative. They are designed to whet your appetite ''specifically on the day you see the previous episode''. These days, they release a different trailer almost immediately after. And they soon deliver actual clips from the show, which I think is where we wanna go. The reason I think we want clips rather than trailers is of course that there aren't a whole lot of trailers officially available from the classic era. There are, however, a lot of clips. | |||
::In general, though, I agree with Ghastly that we should be putting some kind of video up on every story for which the BBC/BBCA give us something. We're really not leveraging the huge number of clips that are fully allowable under our [[tardis:video policy|video policy]] which would enliven our pages. Stylistically, I don't think it should be directly under the infobox still, but rather should consistently be in the infobox at the bottom. Our infobox doesn't particularly allow it now, but the infoboxen are getting a makeover soon, and I'll probably build in a video "cupboard" when the makeover happens. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''21:40:55 Sun '''15 May 2011 </span> | |||
