Part of the Sharelink effort.

  • specifically we’d like to propose <link rel=share> (or similar name) to provide preference of shared URL for a given page.

Per the microformats process this page is here to document previous formats for pages publishing share links for themselves.

examples

  • rel-canonical
    • Jeremy Keith ‏@adactio
      @cramforce Is this not already covered by rel="canonical"?
    • Malte Ubl ‏@cramforce
      @adactio we’d fallback to that, but people want to override it for some legit and less legit reasons.
      people sometimes use canonical to point to an entirely different publication that was the original source of the content.
      and others want to do share tracking with #.1234 style URLs (see e.g. @Medium URLs).
    • Kevin Marks ‏@kevinmarks
      @cramforce @adactio @Medium or google inspired &utm_source things
    • Ricky Mondello‏ @rmondello
      Safari on iOS 11 will share the canonical link for a page, which can improve the experience of sharing a "mobile" website.
 The value "self" signifies that the IRI in the value of the href
 attribute identifies a resource equivalent to the containing
 element.
