Short's links e.g. https://youtube.com/shorts/pFGnq_5fdwk?feature=share

does not work:

ERROR: Unable to recognize tab page; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see  https://yt-dl.org/update  on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

but rewriting this link to : https://youtu.be/pFGnq_5fdwk

Makes youtube-dl work!

Request: please recognize shorts links as they are easy to rewrite to normal yt links and then downloading works!

The templates exist but can be ignored. As identified in the linked and pinned issue (it appears right above the button), GH apparently doesn't link the "New Issue" button to the template choice unless the user is logged in.

That's because Youtube-DL is using "old style" templates. https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/30839 isn't reproducable on repos using the "new style" forms (such as yt-dlp)
