This is a template to link to YouTube Channels. The template has been future-proofed in the case of YouTube making yet another url format

{{yt| type | id | description }}

type - the portion in the url in between slashes, can be user (u), channel (ch), @, custom (c) (for vanity urls) or the user id itself!
id - the last portion of the URL to a YouTube profile, after user/, channel, @ or youtube.com/ and youtube.com/c/ in case of custom URLs .
description (optional) - replaces the profile name with your text

Note: do not use whitespace immediately before or after vertical bars or curly brackets

{{yt|id|description}}
{{yt|u|id|description}}
{{yt|user|id|description}}
{{yt|id|description}}
{{ytuser|id|description}}

produces:

{{yt|ch|id|description}}
{{yt|channel|id|description}}
{{ytchannel|id|description}}

produces:

{{yt|@|id|description}}
{{yt|custom|@id|description}}
{{yt|c|@id|description}}
{{ytc|@id|description}}

produces:

{{yt|custom|customurl|description}}
{{yt|c|customurl|description}}
