When sharing a wiki article on Facebook I get to choose which of the available images I want to illustrate the link with. However, when the sharing occurs within a comment that option isn't there, and the same image is selected universally.
Is there some way to configure which image is picked by the sharing sites? And could this be e.g. the first image within the article as opposed to the staple background structure?

OpenGraphMeta adds og: metadata that'll improve the information Facebook uses. Though the image implementation could use an update.
Though in this case it almost looks like a screw-up of Facebook's own fault. Their documentation states that "The image must be at least 50px by 50px and have a maximum aspect ratio of 3:1.", and that image is 31px in height, not 50px.
