Full text of tweet that Twitter returned to the bot (excluding links) added by TweetCiteBot. This may be better truncated or may need expanding[a] or case changes. If the bot encounters Twitter profile URLs,[b] they are converted to {{Cite Twitter profile}}. Following a request, as of November 6, 2022 the bot now attempts to strip phone numbers and email addresses out of Tweet text; this system may be imperfect and require the reference to be edited when an edge case is spotted, but it is a significant improvement.

Notes

  1. ^ While the bot used to truncate Tweets, it no longer does so. However, Twitter limits responses to 140 characters and will self-truncate. This is not the bot's doing and is unfortunately unavoidable.
  2. ^ A Twitter profile URL is a URL direct to the account, not a Tweet. These are typically shorter.
