All I know is attempting to share "http://www.google.com/"; on Facebook gives a pleasing
"Google http://www.google.com/ Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what you're looking for." With a crisp Google logo as the first and only logo choice. Text and logo 100% perfect! ♥♥♥ Now allow us to turn our attention to say, what happens when trying to share oh, "http://www.mediawiki.org/"; , "MediaWiki http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki Use the links below to explore the site contents. You'll find some content translated into other languages, but the primary documentation language is English." 1. the URL becomes the longer ugly redirect, but never mind that, that was a previous argument. 2. Of course we are not given a choice of the site logo, which is my main argument of this thread, but as the lyrics go, "that's what they want, that's what they choose". Brian Eno - Cindy Tells Me http://youtu.be/XC9Rb8G03es 3. How did Facebook choose that snippet of text? It seems that it runs down to the first <P> outside of a <div> or something. And they why then when sharing ones average mom and pop wikis, http://abj.jidanni.org/ http://transgender-taiwan.org/ http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org not only does one not get a single image, but not a scrap of text gets included either. What is it that makes Facebook not see the text sitting there on the page? What goop is ruining things? Now turning our attention to Wikia sites, well they fare a bit better in Facebook. However attempting to share "http://www.wikia.com/"; itself produces no image whatsoever. Conclusion: Mediawiki does not pass the Facebook test. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
