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.

{{Twitter | ID }}{{Twitter | id= ID }}
Two parameters:
