Should it work with MediaWiki 1.34.0?

Can't get it working with MediaWiki 1.34.0. Only a clickable link to the Twitter account will appear on the page. RenéV (talk) 12:34, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for the late response, this page was not on my watchlist. Yes, the extension should work with 1.34.0. The link should be converted to timeline/tweet using Twitter's widget.js library when the page is being loaded.
Possible reasons why it wouldn't work:
  • JavaScript is disabled
  • Incorrect parameters, such as wrong ID
  • JS fails to load for some reason 01miki10 (talk) 18:57, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

I tried to make a template to make it easier to use, but it doesn't work.
<twitter {{#if:{{{followed|}}}| likes-screen-name="{{{followed|}}}"| screen-name="{{{username|{{{1|Minecraft}}}}}}"}}{{#if:{{{statusid|{{{2|}}}}}}|tweet-id="{{{statusid|{{{2|}}}}}}"}}{{#if:{{{listed|}}}| list-slug="{{{listed|}}}"}}{{#if:{{{height|}}}| height="{{{height}}}"}}{{#if:{{{lang|}}}| lang="{{{lang}}}"}} width="{{{width|400}}}"/>
I changed the output to "span" instead of "twitter", but there seems to be no mistake in the tags.

Does anyone know the cause of this?

Tags don't work properly with parser functions inside them. Use {{#tag:twitter}} instead. 01miki10 (talk) 21:08, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Is this extension still working?

Tried with MW 1.30, only links to the twitter page. No display 109.253.216.196 (talk) 10:33, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I suggest updating to a newer version, 1.30 is already several years old. The extension certainly does work on a wiki using 1.34 and several Miraheze wikis. 01miki10 (talk) 11:26, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
It does work with Mediawiki 1.41 in the Mediawiki desktop webinterface on wiki Christipedia.miraheze.org and in the mobile webinterface, on my Windows 10 laptop with Google Chrome browser. However, the extension does not work in the mobile webinterface on my Samsung Android Smartphone. It does work in the Mediawiki desktop interface on my smartphone.

[SOLVED] Extension only showing 'Twitter'; doesn't embed timeline

Hi, I'm trying to get this extension to work on MW 1.38.x. I get a similar message as 109.253.216.196; it provides a link to the twitter page, not a display of the content. See e.g.: https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Test41

Seems to be working fine for me. Could be an anti-tracking or similar script blocking it. 01miki10 (talk) 17:45, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
My apologies! My browser is blocking the content and just provides a link. Sorry for bothering. I'll add 'Solved' to the question. Thanks! Kettner2 (talk) 20:56, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
