# 󠀁[How to Approve Videos – Now easier to understand!](https://make.wordpress.org/tv/2014/05/23/how-to-approve-videos-now-easier-to-understand/)󠁿

Howdy Mod Squad!

With [@myroseapple](https://profiles.wordpress.org/myroseapple/)‘s help (and awesome
video walk through!) we now have a new set on instructions on how to approve videos.
Hopefully these will be a lot easier to follow (and refer back to) than the old 
documentation we used to have.

Take a look:

In addition to that, I would like to propose that we start building out something
of a **Moderator Handbook** (see new widgetWidget A WordPress Widget is a small 
block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also
known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally 
created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control
of the WordPress theme to the user. at the top of our sidebarSidebar A sidebar in
WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display
information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical 
column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content 
area, footer, header, or any where in the theme.) including this new page, and adding
sections on the following:

 * Moderating Comments – What to approve, how to respond, clearing out spam, etc.
 * Internationalization/accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened
   to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments
   for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “
   direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility 
   with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (

   How to moderate and approve subtitles, etc.
 * Video Standards – Policies regarding technical quality, as well as issues around
   GPLGPL GPL is an acronym for GNU Public License. It is the standard license WordPress
   uses for Open Source licensing [https://wordpress.org/about/license/](https://wordpress.org/about/license/).
   The GPL is a ‘copyleft’ license [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html).
   This means that derivative work can only be distributed under the same license
   terms. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which 
   the BSD license and the MIT License are widely used examples. and community compliance.
 * Managing wordpress.tv – The nuts and bolts of how the site works—what all the
   tags, categories, menus, and widgets do, how to keep the home page up to date
   with fresh content, etc.

I am sure there can/should be others, so if you think I’m leaving something out,
please let me know. Also, if docs are your thing, you are welcome to join in and
help, so give a shout out in the comments.
