My thought on the matter is that it's a PPOV matter, with people who came into fandom through different cultures using different definitions, and that it's not so much an either/or as it is a situation in which both sides need to be represented and included, and it needs to be clear that the wiki seeks to include the history of all relevant cultures, not just those who use a particular terminology.
(And it gets more complex, possibly, when you factor in that the Archive of Our Own intends to host vids in a future incarnation, after this one is out of beta. So would it be a multimedia multifandom archive? A multimedia multimedia archive? A multifandom multimedia archive? etc.)
(ETA: I've never thought of vids as multimedia, though I suppose they are. It's when you incorporate fic into the audiovisual mix that it becomes MM in my brain. But sane and my brain? Not always willing to claim acquaintanceship.)
NB: I represent neither the Fanlore gardeners nor the Content Policy committee, nor indeed any entity other than ainsley, in the creation of this comment.
