::::::::::Ok it's running now to backfill all the missing data. I'll schedule this to happen on a regular basis. Tell me if any are missing once it's done (see [[:wikidata:Special:Contributions/BorkedBot]]). [[User:BrokenSegue|''B''roken]][[User talk:BrokenSegue|''S''egue]] 01:47, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::@[[User:BrokenSegue|BrokenSegue]], the module [[Special:Diff/1146164719|is live]]; hurrah! I'm curious to see what will pop up in [[:Category:Pages with YouTubeSubscribers module errors]]. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>{{u|</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}}</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 04:25, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::so most of the errors are caused by items that are lacking channel IDs on Wikidata. I did see a few where the issue was instead that there were multiple youtube channels and none marked as preferred. I might see if I can find time to go and fix these.

==Generating undefined references==
I find myself here because the [[Linus Sebastian]] article generates an undefined reference named "YouTubeStatsLinus Sebastian", and none of the subscriber count claims in the article are referenced. Looks like {{tl|Infobox YouTube personality}} invokes this module with the parameter "subCountNice". I don't see how this template decides where to get its information from, though.
The Infobox template documentation makes no indication that a reference will be generated, or how it will be generated. If I invoke the module directly, it seems to return "-404" and that prevents the template from producing the reference definition. The module documentation says that this can be fixed if someone would {{tq|Add a YouTube channel ID or set the rank of one channel ID to be preferred}}. But it doesn't say how to add it -- the channel ID is not a parameter to the module. And it doesn't even explain how to discover the channel ID in the first place.
How can the undefined reference in [[Linus Sebastian]] be fixed? -- [[User:Mikeblas|Mikeblas]] ([[User talk:Mikeblas|talk]]) 16:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
