Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
The external links guideline recommends avoiding links to Threads unless the profile is an official account, "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article" and when the links to Threads "provide the reader with unique content and are not prominently linked from other official websites". Wikipedia is not a directory for helping Threads users find pages on Threads.
This template tracks and uses Wikidata property:
  • Threads username (P11892) (see uses)
This template uses Lua:
  • Module:EditAtWikidata (sandbox)
  • Module:WikidataCheck (sandbox)

Template:Threads displays an external link to a page at Threads, a social media website. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.
