I've come across Draft:Tweet (Twitter), which has basically 10x the info here. Please merge the contents here and place the appropriate tags. Pinging draft creator @ SWinxy. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 00:05, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
In the "Character limit" section, it says "Twitter announced that media attachments (images, GIFs, videos, polls, quote tweets) nor mentions in replies would no longer increase the character limit". I feel like the wording here is a bit awkward and confusing. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk) 03:48, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
We've had a disagreement in this article on whether or not to call the site formerly-known-as-Twitter Twitter or X. The article name is Twitter, and X (social network) is a redirect to it. There have been six move discussions according to Talk:Twitter, all resulting in the page not being moved. WP:COMMONNAME applies to article titles, not how we refer to it in other articles, but it's generally the case that people write the common name for something. The contentious rebrand, a decade and a half into its existence which firmly established its name in pop culture, is annoying. We have three options: call it Twitter, X, or both.
Some publications from the past year+ have fully called it X (e.g. WaPo and NYT), while others still say "X, fka Twitter". I think X is a stupid name, so I'm vehemently against calling it simply "X" in the article. I'm down with calling it both, with a preference to saying Twitter before X because 'Tweet' and 'Twitter' are of the same bird-themed lineage. Pinging involved: InfiniteNexus, SuperMario231 64, Di, Matbla7, and TheMasterMind321. SWinxy ( talk) 19:49, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved because nobody supported. ( non-admin closure) History6042 ( talk) 17:57, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
Tweet (social media) → Post (social media) – It isn't called tweeting anymore. It is now a post. Interstellarity ( talk) 00:13, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
