Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description:
What about adding a possibility for setting the html-tags <link rel="next" ...>
etc. within a MediaWiki page? In wikipedia you coult make date-pages easier to
navigate. What about adding the document history to <link rel="alternative"
title="01-01-2000">?

This would be useful on wikinews for the RSS feed so that firefox could detect it.

<link rel="bookmark" href="#majorSectionOfArticle"> seems to be an obvious
addition. This would be quite beneficial to metadata-aware browsers. Since
wiki already creates a "Contents" box dynamically, it should only be a couple
extra lines of code to put some links in the document head as well.

While I do see some slight benefit to allowing the setting of these, I also know our <head> has grown way out of hand and adding even more stuff to it is not the way to cut it back. We keep saying "well this is only X more bytes, it won't matter." Well all of those bytes add up eventually and a line needs to be drawn.

I suggest drawing it here and closing WONTFIX.

I tend to agree with Chad. Would someone else review this and close?

I think this would be something for an extension.

In regards to comment 1 - (Just for clarification) I don't think that's a particularly good idea anymore (To let users do that sort of thing, security implications and what not)
