== AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) == | |||
For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Mobile_Pages | |||
An interesting insight into AMP (Hint: These guys describe how to implement it for WordPress, but explicitly state they don't do it for their own site due to a myriad of reasons: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-setup-google-amp-on-your-wordpress-site/ | |||
How is it implemented? | |||
* For MediaWiki based sites, both extensions AMP and AcceleratedMobilePages are both busted as of late 2021; | |||
** AMP: This one is dated appx 2018, version 0.0.0 according to Special:Version, 0.0.1 according to the author, neither of which is inspiring. When testing with Google Search Console, it doesn't respond to the ?action=amp command automatically. And when manually adding the <amp/> Element, per documentation, it breaks the page. So busted as of late 2021. | |||
** AcceleratedMobilePages: This one is dated appx late 2019. It does trigger Google's AMP detection, but doesn't work according to Google. And when testing manually with the ?action=amp, it produces a blank page. So this one is busted and broken too (as of late 2021). | |||
CONCUSION: As of 2021, this feels like a busted Microsoft Silver Light type of effort that's doomed to be a BETA version of something else that will rise from the ashes. Use other tools to create a "Mobile Friendly" website | |||
* MediaWiki: Mobile Front End | |||
* WordPress: "Responsive" Themes, etc. | |||

* View Tested Page (AKA "View a rendered version of the page", as it is referred to in the documentation), Screenshot (Thankfully only the perspective of the tiny little smart phone screen is provided, presumably for those who like their champange in a plastic cup.) | |||
* What the fork is AMP. Well, that is an acronym for [[wikipedia:Accelerated_Mobile_Pages|Accelerated Mobile Pages]](although you wouldn't know it from Google's documentation page as it doesn't provide the words that the acronym stands for, nor does it even provide, oh ,what's the term, oh yes, LINK to a definition of AMP (hint, it isn't amperage)). | |||
