From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This template generates an external link to an account at Twitter. It is designed to standardize the text and formatting of links to the legitimate Twitter account profiles of persons or organizations with sufficient notability to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. However, adding a Twitter link is never mandatory and in certain cases should be discouraged.
This is a documentation subpage for ઢાંચો:Twitter. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ઢાંચો page. |
The external links guideline recommends avoiding links to Twitter. Only include links to social media if the subject is particularly known for using that social medium, and when the link provides the reader with significant unique content, and it is not easily linked from another link included in the article (i.e. if the individual's homepage is linked and that has a prominent link to a Twitter feed, delete the Twitter link here, see WP:ELMINOFFICIAL). Wikipedia is not a comprehensive directory of a subject's web presence. Only link to official accounts "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article". Legitimate Twitter accounts are usually named in reliable sources, linked to by other subject-controlled sources; or marked "Verified" by Twitter. |

Note that very many fake Twitter accounts have been created as hoaxes, parodies, or attempts by fans to mimic a celebrity's style convincingly. Please make a detailed effort to verify the authenticity of any external links you wish to include.
Legitimate Twitter accounts can be found through being named in reliable sources, such as in newspaper stories about the subject, or linked to by other subject-controlled sources, such as the subject's legitimate website. A Verified Twitter account is one that Twitter itself has found to be legitimate. Twitter adds a blue verified badge next to the account's username on a profile and next to the account name in search results.
Accounts that don't have the badge next to their name but that display it somewhere else, for example in the profile photo, header photo, or bio, are not verified accounts.
One parameter:
{{Twitter | ID }}
{{Twitter | id= ID }}
Two parameters:
{{Twitter | ID | NAME }}
{{Twitter | id= ID | name= NAME }}
Using the Wikidata property P2002:
{{Twitter}}
{{Twitter | name= NAME }}
Fill this parameter with the ID string used in the URL for the user's account profile on Twitter. When one parameter is used, the link text is the title of the Wikipedia article where this template is used.
URL:
https://twitter.com/ઢાંચો:Hilite
Usage:
{{Twitter | Twitter }}
{{Twitter | id= Twitter }}
Output:
Since "Twitter" is the name of the Wikipedia page you now are looking at, the link above appears as "Twitter on Twitter" on this Wikipedia page. The lead name will change according to the name of the Wikipedia page.
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/ઢાંચો:Hilite
Usage:
{{Twitter | AcadiaU | Acadia University }}
{{Twitter | id= AcadiaU | name= Acadia University }}
Output:
When used without an "id" parameter, this template will call data from Wikidata, if available. If none is available, the category Category:Twitter template missing ID will be applied and an error message will be displayed.
Usage:
{{Twitter}}
Output:
