Description

There's various bugs open for different implementations of sharing protocols, such as:

Schema.org - https://schema.org/
- T106650: Enrich articles with schema.org metadata
- T106651: Enrich Wikimedia email with Schema.org metadata
- E.g. Google+ structured data - https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data
Open Graph - http://opengraphprotocol.org/
- See: T142243: [EPIC] Add open graph meta tags for subtakss
- E.g. Facebook Open Graph - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiSEO exists
?
- T32113: When sharing articles without images on social sites (facebook, twitter, google+) the mediawiki logo is used in lieu of site logo
- T101711: Banners are used as the illustration when shared on social media websites such as Facebook
Twitter Cards - https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards
- lowest priority, per extensive discussion in T64811: Review and deploy TwitterCards extension for proper display
- plus twitter uses Open Graph as a fallback for the 3 main items, cf. https://dev.twitter.com/cards/markup

There are also various issues with either implementations of those, or general problems to solve in this area.

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenGraphMeta does some stuff. So does http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiSEO and other extensions. I improved tweaked the latter a bit as a temporary solution https://github.com/andru/wiki-seo/pull/6 but I am by no means a php coder (just did some copy and paste).

None of these is a complete solution for all the meta tags.

It would also be useful to have og:locale and og:locale:alternate tags
