[edit] Concept
Develop a MediaWiki extension that allows social media sharing in a way that allows for deployment on WMF sites.
- No use of APIs or scripts
- No transmission of any of the wiki user's information - including IP address
- Only support services that allow URL based submissions
- Use Wikimedia Commons images
- Require use of InstantCommons or offer optional bundle of images?
- User preferences will allow wiki users to:
- Disable or enable entire social media sharing feature for people avoiding social media
- Disable or enable specific services
- SysAdmin settings to:
- Set defaults for user prefs
- Add additional or custom services
- Pick between 2-3 different toolbox designs

[edit] Free floating ideas
- Dantman: When you get close to the sharing area a grey x shows up on the right side of it. When you hover over it a tooltip says something like "Disable share buttons." After clicking the button the share area is replaced with a message. For logged out users "Share buttons have been disabled temporarily. [Log in] to disable them permanently. - Undo" and a cookie is set. For logged in users the message is "Share buttons have been disabled permanently. You can re-enable them later in your [preferences]. - Undo"
