two rel attributes in website links confuses Mastodon, cannot verify links on ORCID profiles

[hardyoyo]

It would be a nice-to-have feature if one could set up reciprocal links from a Mastodon profile to an ORCID profile. This requires that the link on the ORCID profile has a rel attribute, specifially "rel=me". It appears there is such an attribute:

ORCID-Source/orcid-web/src/main/resources/freemarker/includes/ng2_templates/person-ng2-template.ftl

Line 90 in 997d5fa

<a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="{{website.url.value}}" target="website.urlName" rel="me nofollow noopener noreferrer">{{website.urlName != null? website.urlName : website.url.value}}</a>

However, this rel=me follows another rel attribute, and this is probably confusing Mastodon. Thus, adding an ORCID profile link from a Mastodon profile does not show up as a verified link in a Mastodon profile.

It's entirely possible this is perfectly valid markup, and the error is on the Mastodon side. Let me know if I should open a ticket there.

Don’t you think this is in fact the same issue as #6668 ?

[hardyoyo]

Yes, though that issue is closed and the problem remains.

[pagiraud]

The issue is closed because it has been added to the roadmap.

[hardyoyo]

Ah, I see, do you have a suggestion for a method of determining whether to report an issue, if it is observed and not found in the list of open issues? I will endeavor to follow it in the future. Closing this issue.

[pagiraud]

When I want to extend search to closed issues, I remove the words "is:open" in the search field.

[hardyoyo]

Well, I'm happy it will get worked on at some point. And will try to remember to look for issues on your road map before I report them in the future.

Good to know, but I’m as involved as you in this project, no more, no less! :-)
