Template:TwitterSnowflake/datecheck
 | This template uses Lua: |
Usage change
{{TwitterSnowflake/datecheck}} has two parameters that should be used. |date= must be the date, in a decent format (like "January 1, 2021" or "1 January 2021"), and |id_str= is the Tweet ID to check.
Tweet IDs contain the date the tweet was posted, as long as the Tweet was posted after November 4, 2010. This template checks a few things.
- If the tweet was posted before November 4, 2010, and no date is specified, it outputs
|error2= - If the tweet was posted after November 4, 2010, and the date specified is more than one day apart from the Tweet, it outputs
|error1= - If the id_str is invalid (contains non-numeric characters), it outputs
|error3=
This should therefore be used in templates that wrap {{TwitterSnowflake}} to ensure that dates are entered accurately. An example usage can be seen at {{Cite tweet}}.
