This template generates an external link to an account at Twitter. It is designed to standardize the text and formatting of links to the legitimate Twitter account profiles of persons or organizations with sufficient notability to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. However, adding a Twitter link is never mandatory and in certain cases should be discouraged.
Note that very many fake Twitter accounts have been created as hoaxes, parodies, or attempts by fans to mimic a celebrity's style convincingly. Please make a detailed effort to verify the authenticity of any external links you wish to include.
Legitimate Twitter accounts can be found through being named in reliable sources, such as in newspaper stories about the subject, or linked to by other subject-controlled sources, such as the subject's legitimate website. Since November 2022, a Twitter account having a verification badge no longer indicates any legitimacy, as it is now available to anyone with a Twitter Blue subscription.
Usage summary
- One parameter
{{Twitter | username }}
{{Twitter | id= username }}
- Two parameters
{{Twitter | username | Displayed Name }}
{{Twitter | id= username | name= Displayed Name }}
- Using Wikidata property
{{Twitter}}
{{Twitter | name= Displayed Name }}
Explanations and examples
One parameter
Fill this parameter with the ID string used in the URL for the user's account profile on Twitter. When one parameter is used, the link text is the title of the Wikipedia article where this template is used.
- Usage
* {{Twitter | Twitter }}
* {{Twitter | id= Twitter }}
- Output
-
- Twitter/doc on X
- Twitter/doc on X
Since "Twitter" is the name of the Wikipedia page you now are looking at, the link above appears as "Twitter on Twitter" on this Wikipedia page. The lead name will change according to the name of the Wikipedia page.
Two parameters
The first parameter will be the ID string used in the URL at Twitter. The second parameter will be used as the link text.
- Usage
* {{Twitter | AcadiaU | Acadia University }}
* {{Twitter | id= AcadiaU | name= Acadia University }}
- Output
-
- Acadia University on X
- Acadia University on X
No parameters and Wikidata property not defined
When used without an "id" parameter, this template will call data from Wikidata, if available. If none is available, the category Category:Twitter template missing ID and not in Wikidata will be applied and an error message will be displayed.
- Usage
* {{Twitter}}
- Output
-
- {{ Twitter}} template missing ID and not present in Wikidata.
