--- Comment #25 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- My recommendation here is to: * set this feature up on a beta wiki for poking and testing; * find someone to audit and improve the code, particularly with regard to support for file description pages (i.e., /wiki/File:Foo.png); and * open a discussion with the Wikimedia Commons community about whether there would be any objection to enabling the TwitterCards extension. Perhaps not in that order, depending on the level of technical investment you're willing to make for an uncertain outcome. I'm proposing this series of steps because there's an open request from Commons at bug 61487 and the Commoners are notoriously more mellow than, say, English Wikipedians. ---- I continue to think that implementing a more generic approach to programmatically transferring metadata from our content would be dramatically wiser (e.g., implementing generic meta elements or looking into Daniel F.'s suggestion about ARIA labels). However, as noted in this bug report, adding Twitter-specific meta elements, even to MediaWiki core, isn't really particularly egregious, in my opinion. Especially in comparison to other vendor-specific code we have. I'll stay neutral on whether to enable the TwitterCards extension on Wikimedia wikis; it personally feels icky, but whatever. Anyone interested in seeing the TwitterCards extension enabled on a Wikimedia wiki should check with a few Wikimedia communities to see if this neutrality is shared. As also noted in this bug report, there's general opposition to catering to sites such as Twitter on some Wikimedia wikis, while other Wikimedia wikis such as the English Wikinews include share icons and are more receptive to social media sites. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
