Tweets are usually unacceptable as sources. Tweets and other self-published material may be acceptable if the conditions specified at WP:SPS or WP:TWITTER are met. For further information, see the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy and the Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources guideline. |
This template is used on many pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

A template for citing tweets posted on Twitter.
Usage
[संपादन करीं]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.
|
|
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.
Using {{sfn}} and {{harvid}}
[संपादन करीं]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}}
.
Optional |date=
parameter
[संपादन करीं]Unlike most citation templates, the |date=
parameter is optional. This is because the date can be calculated directly from the Tweet's ID using Module:TwitterSnowflake (wrapped with Template:TwitterSnowflake).
If the |date=
parameter is off by more than one day from what the calculated date is, the template will output an error. This can be fixed by removing or correcting the date parameter.
If the Tweet was posted before November 4, 2010, the date cannot be calculated from the ID — the template will output an error if no date is provided.
Examples
[संपादन करीं]{{Cite tweet |user=Pigsonthewing |number=564068436633214977 |title=This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!}}
- @Pigsonthewing (February 7, 2015). "This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
{{Cite tweet |author=Andy Mabbett |user=Pigsonthewing |number=564068436633214977 |title=This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!}}
- Andy Mabbett [@Pigsonthewing] (February 7, 2015). "This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
{{Cite tweet |author=Andy Mabbett |user=Pigsonthewing |number=564068436633214977 |title=This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians! |retweet=Wikimedia Foundation [Wikimedia]}}
- Andy Mabbett [@Pigsonthewing] (February 7, 2015). "This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!" (Tweet). Retweeted by Wikimedia Foundation [Wikimedia] – via Twitter.
If the author has a Wikipedia article, use of |author-link=
is recommended:
{{Cite tweet |author=Elon Musk |author-link=Elon Musk |user=elonmusk |number=743097337782763521 |title=Looks like thrust was low on 1 of 3 landing engines. High g landings v sensitive to all engines operating at max.}}
- Elon Musk [@elonmusk] (June 15, 2016). "Looks like thrust was low on 1 of 3 landing engines. High g landings v sensitive to all engines operating at max" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
Note that if |last=
is used, |author=
is ignored:
{{Cite tweet |last=Mabbett |first=Andy |author=Redundant Author Name Ignored |user=Pigsonthewing |number=564068436633214977 |title=This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians! |retweet=Wikimedia Foundation [Wikimedia]}}
- Mabbett, Andy [@Pigsonthewing] (February 7, 2015). "This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!" (Tweet). Retweeted by Wikimedia Foundation [Wikimedia] – via Twitter.
This tweet was posted before November 4, 2010, so |date=
is necessary:
{{Cite tweet |user=jack |number=20 |title=just setting up my twttr |date=Mar 21, 2006 }}
- Jack Dorsey [@jack] (Mar 21, 2006). "just setting up my twttr" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
Error detection
[संपादन करीं]- The parameters
|user=
,|number=
, 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}}
: CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link) Missing or empty |user=; Missing or empty |number= (help)
- @. "I'm an incomplete citation!" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
- 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 optional|date=
parameter is used, and the date is off by more than a day from the calculated date, an error is displayed. - 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).
