clean up capitalization
I am wondering if we could maybe clean up how these things are capitalized. In the 1.9 article, for instance, in the references section, you'll see TheMogMiner, themogminer, SeargeDP, seargedp, etc. It seems that we could have all those point to either a properly-capitalized version (TheMogMiner, SeargeDP) or a completely-lowercased version (themogminer, seargedp) of the account name. If only for uniformity.

I took a look at the code here, and I'm not sure I can quite suss it out myself, I'm a little out of practice.

I have another vision
I saw this on Seecret Friday and I thought it was neat, so I replicated it on the 1.9 page.

What if we set it up so that:

would print:

[ "@DC_MasterMind It's to make entity models and animations part of resource packs, like block models in 1.8"] – @TheMogMiner, Oct 10, 2014

 * Maybe we can setup a widget (or something like that) which loads the tweet automagically (although it would probably slow down the loading process of pages which use many tweet templates). I, however, would totally support it . | violine1101(Talk) 18:32, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * - Although I do like it, someone could change the description of the tweet to something offensive or misleading. BDJP (t 19:36, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

 * I don't see why not, though the date stuff could be a single parameter since we standardize dates on the style guide anyways. I would actually support better descriptions on more references overall
 * BDJP007301@undefined Yes, but someone can do that with anything we add on the wiki, it will just get reverted. And since these would be quotes, the wording should basically be the same as on the tweet. – KnightMiner  t/c 20:37, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I do think the parameter would be best designed as a 'quotes-only' parameter, since it's twitter (direct text from a developer), and since it would only really be used in a reflist (no need for embellishment or clarification like in a normal section). – Sealbudsman (Aaron) SealbudsmanFace.png t/c 20:53, 4 June 2015 (UTC)


 * [ Here is a sample code that adds this feature]. See my sandbox for a preview of it working. – KnightMiner  t/c 01:28, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
