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

A template for citing tweets posted on Twitter.

 Usage

Copy a blank version to use. All parameter names must be in lowercase. Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Delete unused parameters to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples may include the current date. If the date is not current, then the page.

Required parameters only, in horizontal format

{{cite tweet |user= |number= |date= |title= }}

Full parameter set in horizontal format

{{cite tweet |author= (or |last= and |first=) |author-link= |user= |number= |date= |title= |script-title= |trans-title= |language= |retweet= |link= |access-date= |archive-url= |archive-date= |dead-url=}}

ملف:Pictogram voting info.svg Note: When known, the author's real name should be specified in the |author= parameter (or |last= and |first=). If their real name is not known, then the tweet is probably not an acceptable usage of a self-published source.

 Examples

{{Cite tweet |user=Pigsonthewing |number=564068436633214977 |date = 7 February 2015 |title=This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians! }}

Note that if |last= is used, |author= is ignored:

 Error detection

• The parameters |user=, |number=, |date=, and |title= are required. If omitted or left blank, errors will be reported. For example:

  {{Cite tweet|title=I'm an incomplete citation!}}

  @. "I'm an incomplete citation!" (Tweet) – via Twitter. {{cite web}}: |author= has numeric name (help); Cite has empty unknown parameter: |dead-url= (help)

• The tweet URL depends on |user= and |number=; if either or both are missing, the URL defaults to https://twitter.com/
• The template also checks for parameters that are unsupported (e.g. misspellings of parameter names).
• Errors are tracked in Category:Cite tweet templates with errors
