  • https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenGraphMeta - provides OpenGraph protocol metadata for articles on the wiki for 3rd parties like Facebook to extract. The primary use for this extension is for any wiki that provides its users a button to "Like" pages on the wiki, especially if the wiki uses a custom default skin. As sometimes Facebook can extract undesirable parts from the page (known on some custom skins to potentially extract random images irrelevant to the content) providing this data gives Facebook clean data to display in likes, and cleans up the long title into a pair of clean site and page titles.
