Template:Cite tweet/doc

A template for citing tweets posted on Twitter.

Examples
 

 

 

If the author has a Wikipedia article, use of author-link is recommended:  

Note that if last is used, author is ignored:  

This tweet was posted before November 4, 2010, so date is necessary:  

Error detection

 * The parameters user, number, and title are . If omitted or left blank, errors will be reported. For example:
 * The tweet URL depends on user and number; if either or both are missing, the URL defaults to https://twitter.com/
 * The tweet date depends on number for Tweets posted after November 4, 2010, if the given date parameter is off by more than a day from the calculated date, an error is displayed
 * Templates are checked for harv, which is an error. The ref parameter must use harvid in the value.
 * 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
 * The template also checks for parameters that are unsupported (e.g. misspellings of parameter names).
