THC Science

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

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.

Usage

One parameter:

{{Twitter | ID }}

{{Twitter | id= ID }}

Two parameters:

{{Twitter | ID | NAME }}

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

Using Wikidata property P2002:

{{Twitter}}

{{Twitter | name= NAME }}

Examples

Without parameters

Used without parameters, this template will call data from Wikidata, if available. If none is available, the category Category:Twitter template with no id set will be applied.

{{Twitter}}

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/Twitter

{{Twitter | Twitter }}
Twitter/doc on X
{{Twitter | id= Twitter }}
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 as the link text.

URL: https://twitter.com/AcadiaU

{{Twitter | AcadiaU | Acadia University }}
Acadia University on X
{{Twitter | id= AcadiaU | name= Acadia University }}
Acadia University on X
