Template documentation

Usage

This template is used to make fake twitter posts.

Fake Elon tweets

This is pretty much a copied version of Template:Twitter, but for Tweets made after Elon Musk's takeover. Maybe this is a very stupid idea, but I've already created this template, so there's that.

It can't be simpler, just copy and paste. You can do that.

{{X
 |text     = 
 |date     = {{subst:#time: j F Y}}
 |comments = 12 <!--change the number-->
 |retweets = 12 <!--change the number-->
 |likes    = 12 <!--change the number-->
 |stats    = 12 <!--change the number-->
}}

Customization

By default the twitter template will spit this out:

	Elon Musk @elonmusk · 18 March 2025 🚀🚀 @Uncyclopedia is by far the funniest comedy site. #BoycottWikia 🚀🚀
215               573               783               934

Here is the template with all empty parameters. You will have to fill in all the parameters or else it'll be blank.

{{X
 |image     = 
 |imagelink = 
 |name      = 
 |username  = 
 |text      = 
 |date      = 
 |comments = 
 |retweets  = 
 |likes     = 
 |stats    = 
}}

Deleting some of the parameters will give you the corresponding default values, which gives you the default tweet above.

By default the date will be the current time, updated when you refresh the page.

By default the retweets and likes are a random number less than 1000, that will change when you refresh the page.
