| Tools for this tag |
The key contact:twitter=* is used to define the X page of an object.
It must be an official way of contacting that point of interest.
How to use?
Assign this tag to any object (nodes, ways, or relations):
In the past, the full URL included a '@. It can now be safely deleted from URL or username.
Both versions are valid. If you prefer to add the full URL, please make sure you link to the generic x.com page, use https, don't use any language-subdomains, and remove all possible tracking tokens that might be shown in the address bar of your browser. X.com itself is able to forward every user to their preferred version of the website (mobile, language), so there is no need to add a specific selection to OSM.
Name of the key
X used to be called Twitter. Due to the rather high number of tags, the inertia inherent to the OpenStreetMap decision making process, and the idle hope some people still hold of a future rebranding back to 'Twitter', the most popular way to tag the X account of a point of interest remains contact:twitter=*.
As of Friday, 18th May 2024 the twitter.com domain began to redirect to x.com. So this tag might be changed to contact:x=* in the future.
