A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.


Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Test Usages

subcount

  • Normal: 15600000
  • Normal: 63400000
  • Missing: -404

date

  • Normal: April 2024
  • Normal: January 2025
  • Missing: Lua error in Module:YouTubeSubscribers at line 211: Could not find a single best YouTube channel ID for this item. Add a YouTube channel ID or set the rank of one channel ID to be preferred.

Design

@Sdkb: Moving the discussion here. So a few open questions in the design of this thing:

  • Do we want to generate a reference in the module? If so to what. BorkedBot currently is not setting references. Maybe that should change.
  • Do we want to generate the point in time of the data within the module? If so in what format and should it be a separate call to the module or should it return e.g. "1 million as of Jan 5, 2020"
  • Do we want to format the number in some way. Looking at Wikipedia articles it seems they are formatted in the style of "1 million" or "250 thousand". Should I copy that formatting (or are there already templates to do that and so the logic doesn't need to be in the module).
  • How should we handle exceptional situations? E.g. sub counts with more than one point in time attached, more than one youtube account associated with the item, negative sub counts, etc. Currently it just returns "?" on failure.

Looking forward to getting this in production. BrokenSegue 16:07, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
