Hi @j0hax and thanks for this. Could you provide some literature on the relevance of the author tag? I could not find anything of note with a simple search.
Hi! According to W3C, author is a standard name for the <meta> tag:
The value must be a free-form string giving the name of one of the page's authors.
More examples from around the web:
- https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/114921/how-should-i-correctly-use-the-meta-name-author-tag
- https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/websites/web-development/the-most-important-meta-tags-and-their-functions/
I believe that providing machine-readable metadata about the author can improve user experience in e.g. reader views or social share previews.
