Required parameters
|author=Author being cited in the linked post.|dateposted=The date of the Author's cited comments.|description=A short description or title of the citation.|link=Permanent URL to Facebook wall post, excluding thehttps://www.facebook.com/portion.
Optional parameters
|archive=Offsite (non-Facebook) archive link, using a service such as imgur for screenshots. WebCite will not work, as Facebook uses various JavaScript hacks and server-side redirects to deliberately block it. If the archive image has been uploaded to Wookieepedia, use the filename (minus the File: prefix) instead of a full URL.- For private conversations with authors, provided that permission is given, an
|archive=URL (but only an archive URL) is required. A|link=parameter can also be excluded and an archive URL used instead if a wall post is archived but deleted from Facebook before a permalink is recorded.
- For private conversations with authors, provided that permission is given, an
|quote=A short excerpt from the citation for quick reference in the article.timepostedThe time when the Facebook post was posted, in 24-hour format (13:58, not 1:58pm)|dateaccessed=The last date the Facebook permalink was confirmed live by a Wookieepedia editor.|timeaccessed=The last date the Facebook permalink was confirmed live by a Wookieepedia editor. Note: The time MUST be in 24-hour format (for example 13:58, not 1:58pm).|archivedate=The date the archive copy was created.|image=The filename of a screenshot of the post. If no image is accessible, then use|noimage=, but only if the post in question is deleted or otherwise inaccessible.
Alternatively, for linking directly to an individual page, use |userpage= for the link to the specific page and |description= for the name.
In June 2014, it it was made compulsory (item 14) to include a screenshot with all social media citations. Accordingly, if this template is used in the article namespace without the |userpage=, |archive= or |image= parameters, the page will be added to Category:Social media citations without screenshots.
