What about YouTube users who have no username but rather a 24-char-long channelID? (accounts made after 2009)

[edit]

Your userbox template is only useful to YouTube users who opened their accounts in or before 2009 (when all channels had URLs of the form http://youtube.com/user/username). Accounts opened after 2009 mostly have URLs of the form http://youtube.com/channel/24charLongChannelID, and this template is useless for such accounts.

I made a template for a more flexible YouTube userbox taking zero, one, or two arguments depending on whether you (1) don’t want to reveal your username or URL (or only watch videos but don’t comment, like/dislike, or upload), (2) have an old-style username, or (3) have a new-style channel ID. Maybe you can learn from my template’s code and update your template. Thankee! --SilSinn9821 (talk) 01:14, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
