I think that AMP is not a good idea for Wikipedia... but can be very useful for small wikis that are written by a couple of people...

Apart from developing the AMP version of the wiki... the only thing that Google ask is to make the following changes in the traditional html code...

I am afraid that I am not good with php code but.... Is there any easy way to add a <link rel..... > like following... ? I think It would be enough for some small and almost static wikis... Of course they should write their own AMP code.

If you have both AMP and non-AMP versions of your pages, include the following links:

  • On any non-AMP page, reference the AMP version of the page to let Google and other platforms know about it: <link rel="amphtml" href="https://www.example.com/url/to/amp-version.html" />

HI, I would say that AMP sounds like a nice idea in theory, but in practice it's just another proprietary format, and nothing more. AMP isn't the right answer. A better answer would be to work on the things in mediawiki that make page loads slower (such as blocking CSS / scripts), and to support the things that benefits mobile users and makes Googlebot happy too - without having to give up too much.
