Revision as of 19:55, 16 February 2021
This page lists extension values for the name="" attribute of the HTML <meta> element. You may add your own values to this list.
For assistance in preparing a specification, see the specification editing category and the Bikeshed documentation.
If the specification is ready, we ask that you:
- Avoid redundancy. If someone has already defined a name that does roughly what you want, please reuse it.
- Be sure to include all the items outlined in the spec including a link to a specification that specifies the keyword as an HTML meta keyword. If a proposal lacks a specification and a version in a complete specification exists, the latter is to be preferred.
- Alphabetize by keyword, without regard for case, in any table. Sort nonalphanumerics by ASCII value.
- Not reserve namespaces. Instead, register individual names (known as enumerated values although you don't have to number them).
URL-valued attributes must not be added to this page as meta names but should be registered as rel keywords instead.

| robots | A comma-separated list of operators explaining how search engine crawlers should treat the content. This meta name is already supported by every popular search engine. Possible values are "noarchive" to prevent cached versions, "noindex" to prevent indexing, and "nofollow" works as the link rel value with the same name. The content value "NOODP" has been offered elsewhere, so I'm proposing it here. It blocks robots from using Open Directory Project descriptions of a website instead of Web pages' own meta descriptions. It may have been introduced by Microsoft. The content value "NOYDIR" has been offered by Yahoo, so I'm proposing it here. It blocks Yahoo's robot from using the Yahoo directory's descriptions of a website instead of Web pages' own meta descriptions. Whether any other robot supports this is unknown but possibly no other search engine uses Yahoo's directory anyway. |

| wt.ac | Advertising Click parameter
When a visitor to your site clicks on an ad, that action is referred to as an Ad Click. The following META tag tracks advertising clicks: <META NAME="WT.ac" CONTENT="name"> Defines the name of the advertisement clicked to reach a particular web page. The Ad Click must contain an external redirect back to the client. The redirect needs to include the necessary code to generate a hit to the SDC server. You can designate multiple Advertising Clicks using semicolons. Examples: <a href="file111.html?WT.ac=CONTENT111"> <a href="file222.html?WT.ac=CONTENT222"> The name of the advertisement clicked to reach a particular web page. To capture this information with DCS, the Advertising Click must contain an external redirect back to the client. The redirect needs to include the necessary code to generate a hit to the DCS. The maximum length for each name is 64 bytes. |

Webtrends Parameters. | Proposal | |
| wt.sv | Tracking Servers parameter
If your site is hosted on multiple servers, a server cluster, or a server farm, and you want to evaluate the performance of your load balancer, Webtrends can track page views for each server. To do so, populate the following META tag on all pages on each server: Example: <meta name="WT.sv" content="My Server"> Defines the name of the machine that serves the web page. If you have two servers (Server1 and Server2), you would make two copies of the META tag and designate CONTENT=“Server1” for deployment to pages on the first server and CONTENT=“Server2” for deployment to the same pages on the second server. For a server farm, you can extract the value of the built-in server name and dynamically assign it to the META tag using server-side scripting. Example: <meta name="WT.sv" content="Server1"> <meta name="WT.sv" content="Server2"> An Ad View occurs when a visitor views a page containing an ad. An ad is a link or graphic that contains an Ad Click parameter in the query portion of it's URL. |
About WT.ad. | Proposal | |
| wt.ti | Tracking Page Titles
You may want to modify a page title before sending it to Webtrends in the following cases:
Unless you modify the page titles, all pages have the same title in the reports.
Even though URLs are displayed in addition to page title, the entire URL cannot be depended upon to distinguish one page from another. Use server-side scripts to change the title to something that reflects the content of the pages so that you can identify them in reports. Next, pass the customized page titles to Webtrends, using the following META tag: <META NAME="WT.ti" CONTENT="title"> Defines the name of the title for this page. |

Search engines should respond to this meta tag in a reasonable way, i.e. by removing the page from their main search results after the expiration date (possibly still returning the result in a special search for expired pages as long as the page exists and is not explicitly excluded via The content attribute should define the expiration date in accordance with http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime . The meta tag should not be used for pages without expiration date. However, for historical reasons, search engines should also interpret other date formats where possible and should be prepared to find values such as "", "0", "no" and "never". Such non-date values are to be interpreted as no expiration date. Correctly formatted example: This tag is not to be confused with and has a different meaning than |

| resolutions | Authoring web sites to use resolution independent images that display beautifully on high-resolution displays should be made as easy as possible for developers and should not require JavaScript to accomplish.
To accomplish this, I propose a new HTML Meta Tag, So, for example… … means that the developer is telling the browser that she has created 2x resolution images for the images linked to from the current page and named them with a @2x suffix. To illustrate, if her image tag is as follows… … then she has two image files under /images: the low-resolution default (flower.jpg), and a higher-resolution (200%) version named [email protected]. (This is the same naming convention already used by Apple in its Cocoa Touch framework for automatically loading in higher-resolution versions of images.) Based on the meta tag, if the browser detects that the user is running at a Finally, so as not to flood external sites with high-resolution image requests, this functionality would only work for local images specified via relative links. Multiple resolutions The resolutions tag can also contain a list of supported device-pixel ratios so as to support even higher-resolution displays when and if they become available in the future. For example: In this case, the developer would provide 2x, 4x, and 8x versions of all images. So, in the running example, she would make flower.jpg, [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. Advantages The advantages of this approach are several:
