This template generates an external link to an account at Twitter.

See also: Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites

The external links guideline recommends avoiding links to Twitter unless the Twitter feed is an official account "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article". Multiple hoax and "fan" accounts have been discovered; please make a particular effort to verify the authenticity of any official links. Legitimate Twitter accounts are usually named in reliable sources, such as newspaper stories, about the subject, or linked by other subject-controlled sources.

Wikipedia is not a comprehensive directory of a subject's web presence. Linking to Twitter and social networking sites is discouraged if the links are easily found at the subject's main website or other official link.

Usage

One parameter:

{{Twitter | ID }}
{{Twitter | id= ID }}

Two parameters:

{{Twitter | ID | NAME }}
{{Twitter | id= ID | name= NAME }}

Examples

One parameter

This parameter will be the ID string used in the URL at Twitter. When one parameter is used, the link text is the title of the Wikipedia article where the template is used.

URL: https://twitter.com/Wikipedia
  1. {{Twitter | Wikipedia }}
    Twitter/doc on X
  2. {{Twitter | id= Wikipedia }}
    Twitter/doc on X

Since "Twitter" is the name of the Wikipedia page you now are looking at, the link above shows "Twitter on Twitter" for the Wikipedia page. The lead name will change according to the name of the Wikipedia page used on.

Two parameters

The first parameter will be the ID string used in the URL at Twitter. The second parameter will be used at the link text.

URL: https://twitter.com/AcadiaU
  1. {{Twitter | AcadiaU | Acadia University }}
    Acadia University on X
  2. {{Twitter | id= AcadiaU | name= Acadia University }}
    Acadia University on X
