[Wikitech-l] Adding support for Twitter Cards
Could we add support for Twitter cards in Wikimedia projects? It wouldn't be hard to do and would would be really nice for articles, images, videos - everything linked from Wikimedia on Twitter could have a nice little preview on Twitter. The documentation is at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards - basically it involves adding some meta tags around existing content server-side.

Looks like it would be pretty simple to do preview images for image/media File: pages. For articles, some combination of extracting a portion of text and using the PageImage extension for selecting a thumbnail image would probably do the job. We should also double-check on appropriate goodies for Facebook and other major networks, and perhaps proper native oEmbed support. Ah, fun. :) -- brion ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

I'll have to dust it off and see how much more tweaking it needs... could be a good-sized project for those if it doesn't get done before them yes. :D -- brion ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

As for Facebook and OpenGraph, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenGraphMeta (optionally combined with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Description2) still works and does a good job!
