Template:Cite tweet/doc

This template is used when referencing a tweet posted on Twitter.

Usage

At a minimum, you must provide the username (without leading @-sign) and the numerical ID for the tweet, which is part of the tweet's URL.

{{Cite tweet
| user=tarastrong
| number=640541460992028672
}}

This alone isn't very useful, however. If possible, expand to fill all of the metadata, particularly the tweet content (including any mentions and hashtags, but without parsing those to wikitext) and the date it was posted.
