Need to add parameters for channel URLs following different formats
This userbox template assumes that all YouTube channel URLs are of the form where is a 24-digit alphanumeric code called the channelID. However, there are some channels with different URL forms like: I have this custom userbox template that adapts to this situation: Its unnamed parameters behave differently than the Template:-spaced template, but at least it gives an idea about how to modify the template to accept named parameters like username, custom_name, etc. ‐⁠‑🌀⁠SilSinnAL982100⁠💬 05:51, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * (prevalent in channels opened before 2013)
 * User:SilSinn9821/user YouTube

For this template to accept named parameters, the wikicode line | info    = This user has a  on YouTube. could be modified to | info    = This user has a  on YouTube. and still preserve backwards compatibility with its current implementation. ‐⁠‑🌀⁠SilSinnAL982100⁠💬 06:01, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Need to replace current userbox icon (YT logo + name) with just the logo alone
I noticed you reduced the render size of the YouTube userbox icon to make it consistent with other userboxes, but there’s a problem now: because the icon currently incorporates the logo & name of YouTube, both now effectively render too tiny to be appreciated. I believe such userbox icon should be cropped to show only the YouTube logo alone (without showing the name “YouTube”) so that the 39 pixels show it in an effectively reasonable size. ‐⁠‑🌀⁠SilSinnAL982100⁠💬 22:15, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I found the ideal replacement icon for the userbox:
 * YouTube full-color icon (2017).svg

The info-a parameter needs to be removed so align is reset to left to maintain consistency. All infoboxes I've come across and ever used do not center align: Adaaaam (talk) 17:17, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

New YouTube channel URL formats
Consider how the template may need to be updated since YT is replacing /user/... and /channel/... URLs with /@account_name.
