Got a problem with how WP organizes content? Fix it yourself or spark up a
discussion on Wikipedia. It's irrelevant to the bug tracker. Besides what would
even be on a "Share" article, the relevant topics and articles are Social
Media, Facebook features, Google Search, etc...

As for any sort of extension which inserts 3rd party scripts or resources into
Wikipedia as sharing features require, as well as other reasons we don't have
them:
http://www.quora.com/How-would-social-sharing-features-impact-site-traffic-to-Wikipedia
http://www.quora.com/Why-doesnt-wikipedia-use-Google-Analytics

For any comment on how people don't care about WMF's privacy policy. Take a
look at bug 19161 to see how high a standard people hold WMF to that policy.

And as for a user preference. That's of little worth, sharing buttons that
aren't even visible to 90% of the people who will actually use them are
worthless.

Now for the relevant topic:
[[strategy:Product Whitepaper#Red link: Post to social media feeds]]


As for this bug report; We already have a relevant bug (bug 27027). WMF has a
relevant white paper topic. This topic has been discussed on various Wikipedias
and WM projects. It's also a topic to tread softly on because there ARE editors
of the opinion they will leave Wikipedia if we add something like this.
Implementing safe, vendor neutral, social sharing would also be a fairly large
research and development project. And we've also had wikitech-l discussions on
the topic.
So posting this bug report here with your pattern of patronizing the other side
bordering on trolling instead of looking at existing topics and offering
suggestions, absolutely worthless.
