The external links guideline recommends avoiding links to Tumblr. Only include links to social media if the subject is particularly known for using that social medium, and when the link provides the reader with significant unique content, and it is not easily linked from another link included in the article (i.e. if the individual's homepage is linked and that has a prominent link to a Tumblr blog, delete the Tumblr link here, see WP:ELMINOFFICIAL). Wikipedia is not a comprehensive directory of a subject's web presence. Only link to official accounts "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article". Legitimate and significant Tumblr accounts are usually named in reliable sources or linked by other subject-controlled sources. |

Usage
editThe external links guideline recommends avoiding links to blogs such as Tumblr unless the Tumblr blog is an official account "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article". Multiple hoax and "fan" accounts have been discovered; please make a particular effort to verify the authenticity of any official links. Legitimate Tumblr blogs are usually named in reliable sources, such as newspaper stories, about the subject, or linked by other subject-controlled sources.
Wikipedia is not a comprehensive directory of a subject's web presence. Linking to Tumblr and other social networking sites is discouraged if the links are easily found at the subject's main website or other official link.
Single parameter
editIf only one parameter is used in the template, this parameter will be the page's url, with the link being the name of the Wikipedia page used on. Example:
{{Tumblr|nasa}}
produces
Hovering over the link shows that the template links to https://nasa.tumblr.com/
, whilst the link itself displays the current page name (displays as "Tumblr/doc" or "Tumblr")
Two parameters
editIf two parameters are used in the template, the first parameter will be the page's url, while the second will be the title of the link. Example:
{{Tumblr|nasa|NASA (official)}}
produces
Hovering over the link shows that the template links to https://nasa.tumblr.com/
, whilst the link itself displays "NASA (official)".
