Broken links being generated?
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}}:
Archive link
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)
How to use url
i want to put url for a music video but that url start with https://youtu.be/, and this template also not supporting that url.is there any alternatives.

- 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/withhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=.) InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:08, 13 May 2024 (UTC)- @InfiniteNexus,

--KEmel49 (talk) 04:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)- 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)

Brace/bracket mangling
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
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)
- This isn't a citation template. {{Cite AV media}} should be used for that. Gonnym (talk) 13:56, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Template-protected edit request on 1 November 2024
YouTube has a new 2024 logo. 64.114 etc 05:13, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- There's nothing to be changed in this template as it doesn't use any logo. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
