' When known, the author's real name should be specified in the |author= parameter (or |last= and |first=). If their real name is not known, then the tweet is probably not an acceptable usage of a self-published source.
To use this template with shortened footnotes (e.g. the {sfn} template), add |ref= with {harvid} in the parameter value, like this:
{cite tweet | ref = {harvid|Porck|2017} | last = Porck | first = Thijs | user = thijsporck | number = 889205416596471811 | date = 23 July 2017 | title = Spotted in Marvel's Doctor Strange: Sutton Hoo Helmet replica! | access-date = 5 December 2017 }
This reference would be cited as {sfn|Porck|2017}.
Examples
{Cite tweet |user=Pigsonthewing |number=564068436633214977 |date = 7 February 2015 |title=This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians! }
- @Pigsonthewing (7 February 2015). "This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
{Cite tweet |user=Pigsonthewing |author=Andy Mabbett |number=564068436633214977 |date = 7 February 2015 |title=This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians! }

- Andy Mabbett [@Pigsonthewing] (7 February 2015). "This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!" (Tweet). Retweeted by Wikimedia Foundation [Wikimedia] – via Twitter.
If the author has a Wikipedia article, use of |author-link= is recommended:
{cite tweet |user=elonmusk |author-link=Elon Musk |number=743097337782763521 |date=June 15, 2016 |title=Looks like thrust was low on 1 of 3 landing engines. High g landings v sensitive to all engines operating at max.}
- Elon Musk [@elonmusk] (June 15, 2016). "Looks like thrust was low on 1 of 3 landing engines. High g landings v sensitive to all engines operating at max" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
Note that if |last= is used, |author= is ignored:
{Cite tweet |user=Pigsonthewing |last=Mabbett |first=Andy |author=Redundant Author Name Ignored |number=564068436633214977 |date = 7 February 2015 |title=This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians! |retweet=Wikimedia Foundation [Wikimedia]}
- Mabbett, Andy [@Pigsonthewing] (7 February 2015). "This is an example tweet. Hello, Wikipedians!" (Tweet). Retweeted by Wikimedia Foundation [Wikimedia] – via Twitter.
Error detection
- The parameters
|user=,|number=,|date=, and|title=are required. If omitted or left blank, errors will be reported. For example: - The tweet URL depends on
|user=and|number=; if either or both are missing, the URL defaults to https://twitter.com/ - Templates are checked for
|ref=harv, which is an error. The|ref=parameter must use {harvid} in the value. - The template also checks for parameters that are unsupported (e.g. misspellings of parameter names).
- Errors are tracked in Category:Cite tweet templates with errors
