That way you don't have to keep updating the videos or writing (number)+ for active channels. It is possible with Javascript, however, Javascript on Wikia does not work on mobile devices. The row for videos would just be blank on your phone.

Currently the row for subscribers is blank on mobile because we use JS to create the subscriber button. I don't think we would be able to sacrifice two infobox rows due to automatically generated content.

In my opinion, I feel you should have it either one way or the other. Either have both boxes set to automatically generate, or have neither of them do it. Having one without the other looks silly.

I'd suggest having them both automatically generate, because like you said, one box is already blank for mobile users, and it isn't really a "sacrifice" to have a second box blank if no one cares to compulsively update the number of videos a channel has manually every time it changes, which means the mobile user will be looking at an outdated video count anyway. I'd personally rather look a blank box than one displaying incorrect information.
