ઢાંચો:Twitter

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

This template generates an external link to an account at Twitter. It is designed to standardize the text and formatting of links to the legitimate Twitter account profiles of persons or organizations with sufficient notability to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. However, adding a Twitter link is never mandatory and in certain cases should be discouraged.

Note that very many fake Twitter accounts have been created as hoaxes, parodies, or attempts by fans to mimic a celebrity's style convincingly. Please make a detailed effort to verify the authenticity of any external links you wish to include.

Legitimate Twitter accounts can be found through being named in reliable sources, such as in newspaper stories about the subject, or linked to by other subject-controlled sources, such as the subject's legitimate website. A Verified Twitter account is one that Twitter itself has found to be legitimate. Twitter adds a blue verified badge next to the account's username on a profile and next to the account name in search results.

Accounts that don't have the badge next to their name but that display it somewhere else, for example in the profile photo, header photo, or bio, are not verified accounts.

Usage:
