Template:Tweet/doc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This template allows relevant tweets to be easily quoted within articles with a citation automatically generated, using {{cite tweet}}
.
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tweet. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |

Using this template is better than a screen-shot of a tweet because the text is accessible to screen readers.
It is an alternative to standard quotation templates because it displays metadata related to the tweet (date of posting, user's name, user's handle, etc.). For quote tweets, use {{quote tweet}}; alternatively, simply pass the quoted tweet, as a second Tweet template, to the |reference=
parameter in this template.
