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). For quote tweets, use {{quote tweet}}.
