<p>Generates richer WordPress comments from linkbacks such as <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention" rel="ugc">Webmention</a> or classic linkback protocols like Trackback or Pingback.</p>
<p>The limited display for trackbacks and linkbacks is replaced by a clean full sentence, such as “Bob mentioned this article on bob.com.” If Bob’s site uses markup that the plugin can interpret, it may add his profile picture or other parts of his page to display as a full comment. It will optionally show collections of profile pictures, known as Facepiles, instead of the full setences.</p>
<p>Semantic Linkbacks uses <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2" rel="nofollow ugc">Microformats 2</a> to get information about the linked post and it is highly extensible to also add support for other forms of markup.</p>
<h3>Privacy and Data Collection</h3>
<p>This plugin collects data from sites that send webmentions for the purpose of displaying richer comments on a site. This data is under the control of the site owner. It is the personal responsibility of that individual or individuals to remove any information at the request of the original content creator. Over time, we will add additional tools to assist in doing so.</p>

Semantic-Linkbacks

Richer Comments and Linkbacks for WordPress!

<p>Refback is a linkback method that works using the standard HTTP Referer header. Like pingbacks, trackbacks, and webmentions, it attempts to present links of other sites that have linked to you.<br />
Unlike other methods, the other site requires no additional support. The implementation works exactly as the other linkbacks do in WordPress.</p>
