 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 48,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

This is a Lua module to translate snowflakes from platforms such as Twitter and Discord to timestamps. This can be used for automatically generating dates for templates like {{cite tweet}}.
Usage
There is one required parameter: |id_str=, which must be the snowflake ID of the tweet. For example, 1345021162959503360.
{{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=1345021162959503360}} returns January 1, 2021.
To specify the date format, use |format=.
{{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=1345021162959503360|format=%e %B %Y}} returns 1 January 2021 — useful to specify, especially for use in CS1 citations, in case the default date format would change in the future (though unlikely).
Custom epoch
By default, the epoch used is that of Twitter. To specify a different epoch, such as that of Twitter, use |epoch=. The epoch of Discord is 1420070400
{{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=797545051047460888|epoch=1420070400}} returns January 9, 2021.
