Automatically calculate `date` from `id`
Module:TwitterSnowflake can automatically determine the date for a tweet from its snowflake id,   already uses that functionality (I'm aware of the edge cases, I don't think they apply here).

Can this template be made to automatically fill in the `date` parameter, if not included, with the same logic? Additionally, the snowflake date calculation logic is useful in   because it'll error out if you manually provide a date that isn't within some offset of the calculated date (implying an error in transcription, invalid date, or potential misinformation).

As an almost complete aside, I would like to propose that `|number` be used as an alias for `|id` so that it is compatible with ` ` which supports the former but not the latter. Mahmoud (talk) 17:56, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

|context parameter
I created this topic in cite tweet talk, but seems that this would be the more appropriate place to propose, given the template claims to display "all relevant information about the tweet". Unfortunately, given popularisation of Community Notes, this is no longer the case for tweets with notes attached, hence suggestion to include a context parameter that can include a note attached, to include all relevant information.

For reference sake, I mean with the Readers added context part, given tweets with notes attached aren't displayed without them. I otherwise think it's only fair to describe this template as displaying "most" of the relevant information, rather than "all" at this point.

anachronism
For tweets before Twitter was changed, isn't using the new "X" logo anachronistic? For example, at Lea Salonga, that tweet is dated 2013, a good decade before the "X" logo was used. Shouldn't it instead display File:Logo of Twitter.svg? —  Fourthords  &#124; =Λ= &#124; 01:00, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Following up, given the anachronism, and that this undiscussed change constitutes 17.7% of all the instigating editor's contributions, does anybody object to the undoing of these changes pending discussion (WP:BRD)? —  Fourthords  &#124; =Λ= &#124; 02:06, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I have reverted the undiscussed addition of the new logo (done without an edit summary even) pending further discussion. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:52, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I've restored the Twitter logo as no consensus has emerged here to use the X logo. This fits with the emerging consensus at Talk:Twitter that X will be considered a separate service. Rendering tweets posted prior to 2023 with this logo preserves historical accuracy. An option here for post-2023 posts (so to speak) is adding a parameter to display the X logo instead, and creating a convenience shortcut with that pre-set as X post. —  Scott  •  talk  12:08, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * We could have the image and link automatically set based on the date param, which would mean all the posts from after the change would update without any manual intervention. Something like the following:

 * After doing some test I've implemented the above. See X (social network) for two before and after tweets as an example. Cakelot1  ☞&#xFE0F;  talk  06:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Snappy!! Great work. —  Scott  •  talk  08:30, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * P.S. Could you please update Template:Tweet/doc to note this new behavior? —  Scott  •  talk  13:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I already added it to the description for the date param, but I'll see about adding an example demonstrating it. Cakelot1  ☞&#xFE0F;  talk  18:55, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
