It's now possible to mark links to your #Wikipedia user page as verified on Mastodon!
Documentation: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:RealMe
This was developed and implemented by @taavi who wrote it as a #MediaWiki extension, named "RealMe". It's open source (like all of the Wikipedia software) and can be used on any MediaWiki wiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RealMe
Hm. still trying to work this out... Linked en:w and my page here... It says link rel="me" "will be added, it doesn't say I should add it...where is the verification supposed to appear?
@Infrogmation @wikipedia @taavi Your verification should be work. You can check it in the source code of your HTML user page, Ctrl+U (for Chrome) and find it with Ctrl+F rel="me".
Try remove and add your user page URL again in your Mastodon settings?
@Infrogmation It's supposed to show up on your Mastodon profile page.
(Basically, the idea is that some web page contains a link to your Mastodon profile with the rel="me" attribute (which the "RealMe" extension provides for WP). Then, when you put a link to that web page in your Mastodon profile, your Mastodon instance is supposed to visit the page and check whether it has a rel="me" link pointing back. If so, a check mark of some kind should appear next to the link in your profile, indicating that Mastodon has verified that the linked page does indeed vouch for you.)
As for why it's not working in your case, I don't know. A working example should look like https://jazztodon.com/@ctproduced (the two web pages vouch for the Mastodon profile by linking back to it).
