Description vladjohn2013 2013-12-01 16:02:09 UTC 
An easy way to share wiki content on social media services

Wikipedia, as well as other wikis based on MediaWiki, provide an easy way to accumulate and document knowledge, but it is difficult to share it on social media. According to https://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Product_Whitepaper 84% of Wikimedia users were Facebook users as well in 2010, with the portion incresing from previous years. The situation is probably similar with other social media sites. It only makes sense to have an effective "bridge" between MediaWiki and popular social media site. More details here.

Some previous work you can use as a base, improve, or learn from:

Extension:Widgets

Extension:WidgetsFramework - experimental extension

Extension:AddThis

Extension:Facebook - just Facebook

Extension:WikiShare - unstable version, seems like it's not worked on any more
