I've installed the extension on <http://test.uncyclopedia.co/>, feel free to
test it there. <http://test.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/MediaWiki> is an example page.
<https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards/validation/validator> shows you what the
twitter card will look like, but it only works in WebKit browsers (Chromium,
Opera, Safari). I'll upload an attachment of an example card.

For attribution, Twitter doesn't really give you that many options.
<https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards/getting-started#content> lets you only link
to their twitter username, which is pretty useless for us.
