Bug #: 29968
Summary: Enable XFN rel=me for links on User Profile pages and
rel="author" links on topic articles
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: plind...@google.com
Classification: Unclassified
Hi,
XFN (XHTML Friends Network) and HTML5 define a standard way for authors
and accounts to link identity and authorship on the web.
Right now the link editor on mediawiki does not have the ability to add the
rel="me" markup needed by an author to link to their other accounts.
If rel="me" markup is available we could allow wikipedia authors to participate
in the Google Authorship program:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=1229920
The second step involves adding rel="author" attributes to links from articles
to the mediawiki profile pages.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or want to work more
closely on this.
Paul
