geo URI scheme

[emedia3]

Hello core team,

since the URI scheme "geo" is becoming increasingly relevant, especially for mobile applications, I would like to suggest including it in the WordPress core.

With kind regards

Hi @emedia3, welcome to Trac!

Could you clarify where you're expecting support for this? Do you see this supported in the editor when adding links? Or just allowed within the underlying functions and APIs, such as [wp_allowed_protocols()] (source)?

I was also trying to find signs of geo: being used by applications or websites, but I haven't been able to find any. Clicking geo: links on my iPhone also resulted in an error. I don't believe that wide spread adoption is a requirement for adding this, but it does help.

Thank you for reporting this, as it has been some time since more details were asked for. In this case, I am going to move this to close. That doesn't mean it can't be reconsidered if more information comes up, but for now, it feels the right stage to move to.
