Template talk:Cite Instagram

Bibliogram
Any advice on the use of Bibliogram? Should it be used instead or can it be considered a sutiable ?

I try to avoid using Instagram as a reference because the paywall and other make bitrot more likely but Bibliogram seems to offer some small small improvements. -- 109.76.203.156 (talk) 12:16, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Numeric value in author
At List of association football players who died during their careers a ref beginning " {{Cite instagram |user=iklsmb5_official |date=24 August 2023... " gives a soft error " {{cite web}}: CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link) " - how to fix this please? Yadsalohcin (talk) 11:00, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Fixes for author error messages
I've added a possible fix to the sandbox for the errors this template generates. The underlying issue is that Template:Cite Instagram is passing the user parameter to Template:Cite web as part of the author field. Cite web is expecting a person or organization. The sandbox version places the user in the author-mask while sending the author, last, and first parameters as names. It should render the same and give slightly clearer data. What do you think ?
