==Usage==

{{FacebookCite|author=|dateposted=|timeposted=|description=|quote=|link=|archive=|dateaccessed=|timeaccessed=|archivedate=|image=}}
</pre>

Required parameters
*{{para|author}} Author being cited in the linked post.
*{{para|dateposted}} The date of the Author's cited comments.
*{{para|description}} A short description or title of the citation.
*{{para|link}} Permanent URL to Facebook wall post, excluding the <code>https://www.facebook.com/</code> portion.

Optional parameters
*{{para|archive}} Offsite (non-Facebook) archive link, using a service such as [https://imgur.com 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 {{para|archive}} URL (but ''only'' an archive URL) is '''required.''' A {{para|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.
*{{para|quote}} A short excerpt from the citation for quick reference in the article.
*<code>timeposted</code> The time when the Facebook post was posted, in 24-hour format (13:58, not 1:58pm)
*{{para|dateaccessed}} The last date the Facebook permalink was confirmed live by a Wookieepedia editor.
*{{para|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).
*{{para|archivedate}} The date the archive copy was created.
*{{para|image}} The filename of a screenshot of the post. If no image is accessible, then use {{para|noimage}}, but only if the post in question is deleted or otherwise inaccessible.

Alternatively, for linking directly to an individual page, use {{para|userpage}} for the link to the specific page and {{para|description}} for the name.

In June 2014, it it was [[Wookieepedia:Mofferences/June 29, 2014|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 {{para|userpage}}, {{para|archive}} or {{para|image}} parameters, the page will be added to [[:Category:Social media citations without screenshots]].
