Template:Cite Instagram

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

A template for citing content posted on Instagram.

Usage

Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as |isbn= have upper-case aliases like |ISBN=, which are acceptable for use). Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date. If the date is not current, then the page.

Required parameters only, in horizontal format

{{Cite instagram |user= |postid= |title= |date=}}

Full parameter set in horizontal format

{{Cite instagram |author= (or |last= and |first=) |author-link= |user= |postid= |date= |title= |script-title= |trans-title= |language= |location= |access-date= |link= |url-status= |archive-url= |archive-date= |ref=}}

File:Pictogram voting info.svg Note: When known, the author's real name should be specified in the |author= parameter (or |last= and |first=). If their real name is not known, then the post is probably not an acceptable usage of a self-published source.

Examples

{{Cite instagram |user=Will Smith |postid=CbqmaY1p7Pz/|date=28 March 2022 |title= Violence in all of its forms is poisonous |access-date=7 April 2022}}

@Will Smith (28 March 2022). "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous". Retrieved 7 April 2022 – via Instagram.
