Module:YouTubeSubscribers

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This Lua module is used on approximately 3,600 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.

This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.

This module fetches a YouTube channel's subscriber count from its Wikidata entity.
