<p>Create module documentation page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Documentation subpage}}<br /> {{Lua sidebar}}<br /> This is a Lua module to translate [[wikipedia:Snowflake ID|snowflakes]] from platforms such as [[wikipedia:Twitter|X (formerly Twitter)]] and [[wikipedia:Discord (software)|Discord]] into timestamps. This can be used for automatically generating dates for templates like {{Template link general|bold=on|plaincode=on|Cite tweet}}.<br /> <br /> == Usage ==<br /> There is one required parameter: {{Para|id_str}}, which must be the snowflake ID of the tweet. For example, {{Code|1345021162959503360}}.<br /> <br /> {{Code|&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=1345021162959503360}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;}} returns {{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=1345021162959503360}}.<br /> <br /> To specify the date format returned, use {{Para|format}}.<br /> <br /> {{Code|&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=1345021162959503360|format=%e %B %Y}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;}} returns {{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=1345021162959503360|format=%e %B %Y}} — useful to specify, especially for use in [[wikipedia:Help:CS1|CS1 citations]], in the event that the default date format changes in the future (however unlikely).<br /> <br /> === Custom epoch ===<br /> By default, the [[wikipedia:Epoch|epoch]] used is that of Twitter. To specify a different epoch, such as that of Discord (whose value is {{Code|1420070400}}), use {{Para|epoch}}.<br /> <br /> {{Code|&lt;nowiki&gt;{{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=797545051047460888|epoch=1420070400}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;}} returns {{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=797545051047460888|epoch=1420070400}}.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * {{Template link general|plaincode=on|TwitterSnowflake}}<br /> * {{Template link general|plaincode=on|Cite tweet}}<br /> * [[wikipedia:Snowflake ID|Snowflake ID]]</div>
