A template for citing tweets posted on Twitter.

Usage[edit]

Template:Citation Style documentation/usage

Required parameters only, in horizontal format
{{cite tweet |user= |number= |date= |title= }}

Template:End Template:Citation Style documentation/usage full

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

Template:End Pictogram voting info.svg Note: 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[edit]

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

Pigsonthewing (7 February 2015). This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!.

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

Andy Mabbett [Pigsonthewing] (7 February 2015). This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!.

Error detection[edit]

  • 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!.
  • 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
