Doesn't have to require implementing Facebook Open Graph, just whatever it takes to get rid of the annoying "Powered by MediaWiki" logo.

It should at the very least be the logo of the wiki (e.g. the Wikipedia logo).

Ideally it would only fallback to the wiki logo after trying to find a prominent image on the page (e.g. the primary photo in the primary infobox), though that's more difficult to implement, especially considering the fact that there's lots of objects on the page that are technically images, but should be ignored in favour of showing the wiki logo still (e.g. icons used in an audio template in the first sentence, or some kind of top icon for featured article).

Anyhow, this bug is for the immediate bug which is that the "Powered by MediaWiki" banner is shown. Anything else (or even no image at all) would be an improvement.
Comment 1 Jean-Fred 2013-10-01 16:09:31 UTC 
I think determining the "best" image is the purpose of Extension:PageImages?

Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2013-10-01 16:30:16 UTC 
Extension:PageImages's logic should probably be used to pick the image(s) to export, yes.

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug <- this is the place to test without posting on your facebook account :D

http://stackoverflow.com/a/12387154/82439 <- see this etc and Facebook's buried detail documentation somewhere
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2013-10-01 16:55:47 UTC 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenGraphMeta <- this should probably be looked at as well.
