Talk:Pingback

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hmm... probably I'm stupid, but both of Trackback and Pingback pages shows these like pingback would be an alternative trackback, which nobody uses.

Isn't pingback used mainly for blog-aggregators ang -searchsystems like Technorati and so on?

Do they have a trackback too?

I don't think so

But I think there are more clever guys than me to figure this out

[edit] Tidying up

There are three types of Linkbacks - Pingbacks, Refbacks, and Trackbacks. Here in Wikipedia, only two were referenced, and there was no article for Linkbacks in General. I created an additional article to represent all three, added some missing material for the two that were in existence, and created the parent article, Linkback.

I propose that we merge Pingback, Refback, and Trackback into a Linkback article, with redirects from each to the Linkback article.
