Fyrimynd:Cite tweet/doc

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= |author-link= |user= |number= |date= |title= |script-title= |trans-title= |language= |retweet= |access-date= |archive-url= |archive-date= |dead-url=}}

 Viðmerking: When known, the author's real name should be specified in the |author= parameter. 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! }}

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!". https://twitter.com/. 

• The tweet URL depends on |user= and |number=; if either or both are missing, the URL defaults to https://twitter.com/
• Errors are tracked in Category:Cite tweet templates with errors
