This template allows easy quoting within articles of tweets from Twitter (now X). A citation is automatically generated using {{cite tweet}}. This template should be used instead of a screenshot of a tweet or post per MOS:TEXTASIMAGES:
Textual information should always be transmitted as text, rather than in an image, so that it can be easily searched, selected, copied, and manipulated by readers. These tasks are generally difficult or impossible with text presented in an image: images are slower to download and generally cannot be searched or processed by screen readers used by the visually impaired. Any important textual information in an image should be provided somewhere as text, generally either in the image's caption or alt text.
It is an alternative to standard quotation templates because it displays metadata related to the tweet (date of posting, user's name, user's handle, etc.). For quote tweets, use {{quote tweet}}.
