Template:Infobox YouTube personality

Documentation icon Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This infobox is intended to be used in articles about YouTube personalities, rather than using the generic {{Infobox person}} template. The template may be used for individual YouTube personalities or collective YouTube channels run by more than one person.

Usage

The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article and then filling in the desired fields. Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed.
