Google can certainly index our beloved, well-behaved, text- and
context-rich, low-bandwidth sites.*
The fact that this happens differentially for Google and not other indexes
implies it's within their control.
If you're getting boilerplate responses about SEO, you may not be talking

I realize SEO has its own jargon, but to those not immersed in the field
it is completely tautological to say a page is not indexed because "the
indexing process determines that the page is unlikely to be requested in
search." In an open-ended search, you aren't necessarily requesting a

Hi all,
I am Jorge Vargas, Director of Partnerships at WMF. It was lovely to see
many of you in person last week in Singapore! Hope you’re all doing well
and energized after a week of celebration and learning, for those who were
in person as well as online.
As Nicholas Perry shared on August 3rd
For many months I have been extremely frustrated with Wikisource due to
Google not indexing what is being added to it. I also suspect the problem
may have to do with Ilario Valderi and Galder described, the gadget

potential partners at Google to discuss collaboration opportunities.

Hi,
The sessions at Google headquarters in Singapore were designed in a way
that there was no option to sit together and discuss this grave issue with
Google's Search team. I guess, the slim opportunity for the Wikisource
volunteers to discuss the issue directly with Google was unfortunately
+1 to this! It can be quite helpful for smaller sites. Thanks for the idea
Tilman.

Apropos Google Search Console:
This might also be an opportunity to make public at least some of the data
that Search Console provides to site owners. That should enable community
members (especially from smaller projects) to detect such issues earlier
and in a more systematic fashion - compared

Has anyone tried telling the Google Search Console to index all the
Wikisource language domains? Presumably a Foundation sysadmin would
need to add the ownership verification tokens to do so:

Hi Everyone,
I think this is a good opportunity to discuss with Google's Search Team
here in Singapore in 2 weeks time.
