Can I skip the MF2-plugin if I'm using the Autonomie theme? Any conflicts?
#
GWG
jujudario: MF2 is for people whose themes don't support mf2
#
GWG
So, Autonomie is MF2 supported on its own

thanks! just cleaning up in my plugins, and I had this doubt. any other plugins that would be surplus with this theme? like semantic-linkbacks or webmentions?
#
GWG
jujudario: No, those provide functionality.
#
GWG
The MF2 plugin is an attempt to account for non-MF2 supporting themes, so its a limited experience
#
jujudario
gotcha, thanks again

For the tape, iirc IndieWeb friendly WordPress themes will contain a declaration that they have MF2 support and if so, the MF2 plugin will automatically know to turn itself off or not run even if it is installed and activated. Of course knowing that you don't need it lets you have one fewer plugin you need to have and run.

should figure out what that code declaration is and add it to one or two themes I'm making...

you can't have too many microformats can you [tw2113_Slack_] šŸ˜‰

I tried to make markup easier to do by plugin but the core team didn't quite get it
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
they needed their own

while i would have liked having this one done because it removes 1 line of code, i like my other contribution this cycle better, as it actually points people to the Links Manager plugin and helps install it
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
get those sweet sweet blogroll links back
#
[chrisaldrich]
that's definitely a win!
