{{A note}} When known, the author's real name should be specified in the {{para|author}} parameter (or {{para|last}} and {{para|first}}). If their real name is not known, then the post is probably not an acceptable usage of a self-published source.
=postid =
The {{para|postid}} parameter is required to make the link in the citation; this allows the template to update all links to Instagram citations when their URL scheme changes. The {{para|postid}} will be the string of numbers and letters in the url following "p/". For example, if the post URL is
Examples
: {{Cite Instagram |user=instagram |postid=CHDzGgCs568 |date=2 November 2020 |title=Happy Halloween |access-date=9 November 2020}}
Error detection
- The parameters {{para|user}}, {{para|postid}}, {{para|title}}, {{para|date}} are {{red|required}}. If omitted or left blank, errors will be reported. For example:
- :
{{Cite Instagram |title=I'm an incomplete citation!}} - :: {{Cite Instagram |title=I'm an incomplete citation!}}
- The post URL depends on {{para|postid}}; if it is missing, the URL defaults to
https://www.instagram.com/ - Templates are checked for {{para|ref|harv}}, which is an error. The {{para|ref}} parameter must use {{tl|harvid}} in the value.
- The template also checks for parameters that are unsupported (e.g. misspellings of parameter names).
- Errors are tracked in :Category:Cite instagram templates with errors
