Template talk:YouTube#Broken links need to be flagged

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 [https://youtube.com/AmiYamato bare] [https://youtube.com/@AmiYamato links] work fine:

• {{YouTube|u=AmiYamato|AmiYamato}}
• {{YouTube|u=@AmiYamato|@AmiYamato}}

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

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)

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 {{code|https://youtu.be/}} with {{code|https://youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}}}.) InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:08, 13 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)

This template starts with a {{code|[}} but then has multiple closing {{code|]}} 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|}}} }} }}} }}

| ] | &#93; }}

| u={{{user|{{{u|}}}}}}

| s={{{show|{{{s|}}}}}}

| p={{{playlist|{{{p|}}}}}}

| i={{{id|{{Trim|{{{1|}}}}}}}}

}}

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 {{code| link=hide}}. (This is included in my proposed template set elsewhere in this talk page.) Martin Kealey (talk) 03:29, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
