Templat:Twitter/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Templat:Twitter. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original templat page. |
 | The external links guideline recommends avoiding ==External links== to Twitter. Only include links to social media if the subject is particularly known for using that social medium, and when the link provides the reader with significant unique content, and it is not easily linked from another link included in the article (i.e. if the individual's homepage is linked and that has a prominent link to a X feed, delete the X link here, see WP:ELMINOFFICIAL). Wikipedia is not a comprehensive directory of a subject's web presence. Only link to official accounts "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article". Legitimate X accounts are usually named in reliable sources or linked to by other subject-controlled sources. |

This template generates an external link to an account at X. It is designed to standardize the text and formatting of links to the legitimate X account profiles of persons or organizations with sufficient notability to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. However, adding a X 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. Since November 2022, an X account having a verification badge no longer indicates any legitimacy, as it is now available to anyone with a Twitter Blue subscription.
