Note the link we give to google news is a normal link, it just has the
article number (curId) added on.
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/American_console_sales_continue_to_decline_thro…
goes exactly the same place as
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/American_console_sales_continue_to_decline_thro…
Since [[American console sales continue to decline throughout April]]
is article number 126807. the curid does not do anything to adjust the
flagged revisions (it only comes into play if you use the wrong title
- for example
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/This_is_clearly_not_the_video_game_article_but_…
Since anons always view the stable version, I don't think we need any
special links. After all we want them to see the flagged changes as
well.

As far as I can tell the 'u' parameter is a full URL. The 't' parameter
is
the title your post on Facebook will have.
I think this should (a) specify the URL for the latest flagged revision of
the article (the link we give Google news) and (b) be presented to the user
in a pop-up window with no title (and auto-close when submitted to
Facebook).

Depending on how testing/playing with the extension goes I'd like to move
this to a vote to support a bugzilla entry for the extension to be added.

I found some previous discussion on links to social networking sites...
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals/Archive/15#Digg.

There's the 'falls down' issue in there for Digg - that is, the "dig
this
article" button you generally see on sites lists the number of digs an
article has. To get that you must pull data from Digg's servers and give
away who is reading what page. A strict interpretation of the privacy policy
would disallow that.
So, this means that for any extension we use all that can appear on a
Wikinews article are passive links. Logos must be local, and the only time
any information should go to the social bookmark site is when a user clicks
on a link to make a bookmark.
Brian.

If we stick to the top four or five social sites I don't think we can be
accused of bias.
How's about I install this ShareThis extension on Wikinewsie and we have a
play with that? I can whitelist a couple of pages to test it on so anyone
can see them.

It might be difficult to select which networks to use, without showing
bias or point of view.
