Task/s: Add social media followers (P8687) to items with a YouTube channel ID (P2397) and kept up to date at most twice a year.
Code: See link on bot page.
Function details: My bot already does this for twitter accounts and someone requested I do this for youtube accounts. Probably uncontroversial but there is one small question. Should I be using number of subscribers (P3744) or social media followers (P8687)? The description of the former implies its not meant for this kind of subscriber? Is it useful to distinguish between the concepts of followers and subscribers? (@Justin0x2004:) --BrokenSegue (talk) 00:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I think social media followers (P8687) is fine. The altlabels include "number of subscribers", so that's exactly what you'd be using it for. --Azertus (talk) 16:10, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- YouTube channel ID (P2397) is an allowed qualifier for social media followers (P8687) so this seems fine. --- Jura 10:25, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I will approve this bot in a couple of days provided no objections have been raised--Ymblanter (talk) 20:26, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
