It is only you who want it.

I think this link is OK.
>It is only you who want it.

This Japanese can be interpreted either way because the subject is ambiguous.
[#324940 All I want is you.
(私が)欲しいのは君だけなんだ。
[#1130357] It is only you who want it.
(それが)欲しいのは君だけなんだ。

Thanks!

I would more naturally say "only you who wants it."
For the plural "you," I'd usually say 君たち in Japanese.
I think it would be better to unlink it.

If I meant the plural you, I'd more likely say it this way.

You're the only ones who want it.

Here's a similar example that you may likely hear exactly this way.

You're not the only ones who want to do that.

@CK
If you say so, then so be it. Please go ahead and unlink.

@marafon
I apologize for the inappropriate response.

> If you say so, then so be it.

This makes it sound like you don't agree.
Was that your intent?

Most natural to me:

- talking about one person: "You're the only one who wants it."
- talking about more than one person: "You're the only ones who want it."

Thank you for your clear explanation, @AlanF_US
