Hello,
Some of you may be familiar with sharing links on Facebook.
If i try to share on Facebook an article from Wikipedia in Hebrew or in
Arabic, the Facebook interface offers to add a thumbnail not from the
article, but from the main page of that Wikipedia. The summary text
describing the link is also taken from the main page and not from the
article.
I see the same problem for he, ar, el. Also for en if I try
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/العربية> I get pictures for the main
page, not for the page that redirects to. However, if I shorten the
URL to
http://bit.ly/2u4hlw it shows the correct pictures.
Thanks for confirming this.
I reported this to Facebook a few days ago, but i don't think that
it's possible to follow up bug reports there like in Bugzilla. So i
want to at least be sure that the bug is not on our side.
