Hi Harvey, The 8 second pause only leaves the last frame up for an extra 8 seconds. It doesn't keep viewers from navigating where ever they like. If this were incorporated into a J lab then the pause would hold up the tutorial, but I can't think it would be too much of a problem on the wiki page.
I haven't seen a way to grab the last frame in Youtube. At first I thought that it was because I had a fade to black at the end of the video, but I uploaded without the fade and it still grabbed black. I'll keep looking for solutions. In the meantime would a 5 second pause be acceptable, or do you see it as that big an issue?
