Vorlage:Tweet/Doku

This template allows relevant tweets to be easily quoted within articles, with a citation automatically generated using {{cite tweet}}.

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 all relevant information about the tweet (date of posting, user's name, user's handle, etc) in a way that reflects Twitter's design language.

Full blank syntax

|date =           [date of the tweet formatted according to MOS:DATE]
|id =             [number at the end of the tweet URL]
|replyto =        [optional: username tweet is replying to]
|image =          [optional: image or logo associated with twitter account]
|unverified =     [optional: any value results in removal of verified check mark]
|left =           [optional: any value makes tweet aligned left]
|block =          [optional: any value displays tweet as block (text above and below, doesn't flow around). Overrides left parameter]
|width =          [optional: custom tweet width]
