From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template generates an external link to an account at Telegram.

Multiple hoax and "fan" accounts have been discovered; please make a particular effort to verify the authenticity of any official links. Legitimate Telegram and ccounts are usually named in reliable sources, such as newspaper stories, about the subject, or linked by other subject-controlled sources.

Usage

{{Telegram | id= ID }}

Two parameters:

{{Telegram | ID | NAME }}
{{Telegram | id= ID | name= NAME }}

Using Wikidata property P3789:

https://t.me/Telegram

Usage:

{{Telegram | Telegram }}
{{Telegram | id= Telegram }}

The first parameter will be the ID string used in the URL at Telegram. The second parameter will be used as the link text.
