A template for citing tweets posted on Twitter.

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 purge 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=}}

সাঁচ:A 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.

To use this template with shortened footnotes (e.g. the {{sfn}} template), add |ref= with {{harvid}} in the parameter value, like this:

{{cite tweet | ref = {{harvid|Porck|2017}} | last = Porck | first = Thijs | user = thijsporck | number = 889205416596471811 | date = 23 July 2017 | title = Spotted in Marvel's Doctor Strange: Sutton Hoo Helmet replica! | access-date = 5 December 2017 }}

This reference would be cited as {{sfn|Porck|2017}}.

If the author has a Wikipedia article, use of |author-link= is recommended:
{{cite tweet |user=elonmusk |author-link=Elon Musk |number=743097337782763521 |date=June 15, 2016 |title=Looks like thrust was low on 1 of 3 landing engines. High g landings v sensitive to all engines operating at max.}}

Note that if |last= is used, |author= is ignored:
{{Cite tweet |user=Pigsonthewing |last=Mabbett |first=Andy |author=Redundant Author Name Ignored |number=564068436633214977 |date = 7 February 2015 |title=This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians! |retweet=Wikimedia Foundation [Wikimedia]}}

  • 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/.  Missing or empty |user= (help); Missing or empty |number= (help); Missing or empty |date= (help)
  • The tweet URL depends on |user= and |number=; if either or both are missing, the URL defaults to https://twitter.com/
  • Templates are checked for |ref=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
