The template name is "{{Twitter}}". It is used to link articles to a particular Twitter account, by the account's URL and title.

Code

 {{Twitter|airtrafficlive|person's name}}

Usage

Single parameter

If only one parameter is used in the template, this parameter will be the page's url, with the link being the name of the Wikipedia page used on. Example:

 {{Twitter|Wikipedia}}

produces

• Twitter/doc on Twitter

Hovering over the link shows that the template links to http://www.twitter.com/Wikipedia, whilst the link itself displays the current page name (displays as "Twitter/doc" or "Twitter")

The external links guideline recommends avoiding links to Twitter unless the Twitter feed is an an official account "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article".

Two parameters

If two parameters are used in the template, the first parameter will be the page's url, while the second will be the title of the link. Example:

 {{Twitter|Wikipedia|The World's best website}}

produces

• The World's best website on Twitter

Hovering over the link shows that the template links to http://www.twitter.com/Wikipedia, whilst the link itself displays "The World's best website".
