[edit] How to use the template

{{post
|table-begin=1
    /* Indicates this is the first item on the table and a table header needs to be built! */
|id=The number at the end of the post's URL (for example, 913122813711708161). 
    (REQUIRED, value must be UNIQUE to the page!)
    This is used for two purposes:
      creating anchor links to the section on the page 
      (e.g. [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2014#913122813711708161]]) 
      and generating the Twitter URL in the Link column.
|id2=secondary ID for this entry, if necessary (OPTIONAL)
|site=For differentiating Twitter or Instagram posts. DO NOT USE unless 
    absolutely necessary, as this template is programmed to match the page it's on.
    (Note: this temporarily overrides the setTypeOverride value for a single post.)
|setTypeOverride=Use this to PERMANENTLY override the post type 
    (for the lifetime of the current page, unless overridden again), expected values are:
    Instagram|Twitter|ronginald
    For a complete list, see: {{post-getType}}
    (Note: this calls {{post-setTypeOverride}} which may be called separately.)
|pic=The post's image or a video thumbnail.
|pic2=A second image.
|pic3=A third image.
|pic4=A fourth image.
|pic5=A fifth image.
|nopic=1 /* If set, indicates that the post's first image needs to be uploaded.  The corresponding pic value will be used as the suggested filename. */
|nopic2=1 /* The second image needs to be uploaded. */
|nopic3=1 /* The third image needs to be uploaded. */
|nopic4=1 /* The fourth image needs to be uploaded. */
|nopic5=1 /* The fifth image needs to be uploaded. */
|size=For changing the size of the image. Again, DO NOT USE unless there is a 
    good reason, as the images are automatically formatted to be 200 pixels wide 
    (188 for videos, due to the filmstrip border).
|size2=Size of the second image.
|size3=Size of the third image.
|size4=Size of the fourth image.
|size5=Size of the fifth image.
|pinned=Set to a non-blank value if the Tweet has been pinned.
|text=The text of the post.
|link=If the post is a link, put the link information here.
|quote=If the post is a Quote Tweet, put any additional information here, 
    including the person who posted what was linked to, and a paraphrase 
    of what they posted.
|reply=If the post is a reply, put any additional information here, including 
    the person who was replied to, and a paraphrase of what they posted.
|refer=If the post refers to someone else's, but does not link to it, put 
    any additional information here (such as a link to the post that was referenced).
|altdesc=If the post contains an alternate image description as defined 
    here: https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/how-to-use-alt-gif
|deleted=If the post has been deleted, put something here 
    (for example, "yes" or "true").
|retweet=If a post is Retweeted with no additional text, put the username 
    and content type here (for example, "@trogdorgame's video").
|image transcript=Transcribing the image if there is any text in it.
|video transcript=Transcribing the video.
|live video transcript=Transcribing a live video.
|poll=If a poll is posted, put the options here.
|fun facts=Fun facts regarding the post.
|date=The date of the post.
|film1=First Character who appeared in the post. (**DO NOT INCLUDE STRONG BAD!**)
|film2=Second Character who appeared in the post. (**DO NOT INCLUDE STRONG BAD!**)
|film3=Third Character who appeared in the post. (**DO NOT INCLUDE STRONG BAD!**)
|film4=Fourth Character who appeared in the post. (**DO NOT INCLUDE STRONG BAD!**)
|film5=Fifth Character who appeared in the post. (**DO NOT INCLUDE STRONG BAD!**)
|film=General list of Characters who appeared in the post. (**DO NOT INCLUDE STRONG BAD!**)
|table-end=1
    /* Indicates this is the last item on the table and a table footer needs to be built! */
}}
