Template:Tweet/doc

This template should be used for linking to tweets, especially in refs. This should be used instead of the interwiki links, as it produces a meaningful link, while still saving space.

Usage
 

Consider this Twitter link:

The username field will accept any capitalization, though the output capitalization will be a preset styling (which can be set in the template) or all lowercase.

The quote field is simply the contents of the tweet. Just note that since the quote is used as a link, links within the quote will not function.

The date field is simply the date on which the tweet was posted. Any format is accepted, though it should generally be in the format of "Month DD, YYYY" (e.g. "February 10, 2013") as per the style guide

Account link
If only the username is set, the template will produce a simple account link formatted with the @ symbol.

Twitter quote
