Purpose
- Note: For the site to function properly, this template must be included in every page in the Main namespace.
- Note: In addition to documenting the template, this page provides the actual template, which you can't see unless you edit the page.
This template provides meta information used in various places:
- Page Listings
- The meta-title (wip) and meta-description fields are used in page listing on this site via the Dynamic Page Listing (3) template.
- Page Titles
- (wip) The meta-title field is used to replace the title that is displayed at the top of the page. This replacement is done through javascript and only affects the display of the title. To avoid confusion, the meta-title here should not vary much from the real page title from which the URL is generated. But it can include punctuation not allowed in the real page title. Changing from the real title should be limited to:
- Quotation marks in Replies Section pages.
- Periods at the end—if the title is a sentence.
- Spellout out words into contractions where contractions sound more natural: cannot becomes can't.
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- The meta-title, meta-keywords, and meta-description fields are place in Meta Tags for SEO.
- The meta-title and meta-description" fields are used in Facebook sharing.
- The meta-title and meta-description (? not sure yet) fields are used in Facebook sharing.
Dependencies
This template depends on the WikiSeo extension being installed and loaded.
Usage and Parameters
For the site to function properly, this template must be included in every page in the Main namespace. Place the template toward the bottom of the page after the Meta heading, and after any text under the Meta, heading but before any category tags.
For tables, which do not have a Meta heading (or any heading), the template should be placed above the category tag(s).
{{jfa-meta | meta-title = This is the title of the page | meta-keywords = keyword1, keyword2, keyword3 | meta-description = A description of the page goes here, and can be wrapped to multiple lines. Take care to leave a space at the end of each line. And also be sure and leave off the vertical bars on second and subsequent lines. }}
