Unclear which format to use for social media profiles

[jancborchardt]

In Contacts, for x-socialprofile the type text is forced, but in the info section it says The url of the profile. e.g. https://www.facebook.com/Nextclouders/. So should the type not be "uri"?

And then to make it easier, whenever you add a social property, we should prefill the start of the URL like https://facebook.com/ and focus it after that.
This works even with federated systems like Mastodon, Diaspora and Nextcloud social as we can simply have a default URL like https://joindiaspora.com/ and https://mastodon.social/ and it can be adjusted then.

Have you tried changing it to url?
Or is this issue only about the placeholder? :)

I would say most people will input the usernames only. For twitter, it is quite common to use @twittername, for example. And when you see advertisements, normally you see a reference with facebook-logo plus the respective username. So I would not insist on putting an URL here. Also, it takes up a lot of space with redundant information to the type field, displayed just in front of it.

Fixed with placeholders
