As far as I know browser don't and never did anything with meta-data, it was meant for search engines. However search engines are smart enough to extract the title, keywords and description themselves. And many other things as well. For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=Steve+Jobs - Google extracts the title, the summary (first paragraph of article), and section / related article links. And that's just what we see publically. Being SEO friendly doesn't require installing a plugin by definition, some web applications are actually good at it out of the box. I think MediaWiki is one of them :) -- Krinkle _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
