There was a discussion at the Village Pump on en-wikipedia a year ago about implementing the rather familiar link sharing options that more and more websites have installed in order to increase readership.Typically this would show as:
Save to del.icio.us • Share on Facebook • Digg This! • outside.in: geotag this story • Discuss on Newsvine • Stumble It! • Sphere: Related Content • Add to del.icio.us.
- with perhaps some icons.
I haven't been able to locate other discussions with regards to our implementing this feature.
Have there been past discussions about this? Is this not a good idea?

I think there's an extension that does this already, but I could be wrong. FWIW: I would want to be able to disable this easily (either via preference or CSS). Not every user would want it or use it (I for one wouldn't). Also: limit by namespace perhaps? Sharing of project namespace pages could quickly lead to accusations of canvassing...

Since we have no wish to advertise such services there is no reason to include such links.
I would oppose to this. It would be the same as advertisment only it would not give money.
It will be a fast wayfor canvassing also.. Or place a message that you don't like a user with a link and things can go very fast.....

I don't see how things like Digg are useful for an encyclopaedia. Aren't they more for topical stuff? The only thing you really need to share a page is to copy and paste the URL into an email, people can do that without our help.
I think those links must not be added since it is somehow a form of advertising for sites like digg or facebook, IMHO. Those who are really interested in this and really need this should write a JavaScript to allow such links to be added.

I don't think this is a good idea because it's basically advertising that doesn't generate any revenue for us.
