Template talk:YouTube

[edit]

YouTube appears to be now 404ing /user/CHANNEL_NAME links, which should now just be /CHANNEL_NAME on the YouTube domain. See for example these template invocations that are broken but bare links work fine:

Those links will work via the template's custom URL feature: {{YouTube|custom=AmiYamato|AmiYamato}} and {{YouTube|custom=@AmiYamato|@AmiYamato}}:
[edit]

It may be beneficial to allow the use of archived links for videos that have been deleted. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:52, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

youtu.be links are blacklisted on Wikipedia due to spam. You'll need to convert them to youtube.com links. (If you don't know how to do that, just replace https://youtu.be/ with https://youtube.com/watch?v=.) InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:08, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I overlooked what talk page I was on. If you're using this template, you just need the video ID, i.e. the part after the URL (yXY-NxGYxlg). But  Done. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:52, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brace/bracket mangling

[edit]

This template starts with a [ but then has multiple closing ] in different branches. This makes it really hard to follow what's going on, as text editors can't simply jump between matching brackets.

It seems like this would be easier to read - and to manage future additions - if it were split up like: 

   
    {{youtube-selector | {{replace | {{delink | <nowiki />
                                                {{{title|{{#if:{{{id|}}} | {{{1|}}} | {{{2|}}} }} }}} }}

Entirely hide the "on Youtube" citation

[edit]

Backhouse Lecture mostly comprises a table that has a column for links to resources in different media; currently it does not use this template as the words "on Youtube" would constitute excessive clutter.

I would like to request a way to suppress this wording by way of an additional parameter, perhaps {{{1}}}. (This is included in my proposed template set elsewhere in this talk page.) Martin Kealey (talk) 03:29, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a citation template. {{Cite AV media}} should be used for that. Gonnym (talk) 13:56, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
