We disallowed /w/, because (quoting from doc comments) Friendly, low-speed bots are welcome viewing article pages, but not dynamically-generated pages please., and that accidentally caught /w/load.php, which until recently was loaded from a different domain. -- -- Matma Rex ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

+external mobile and wikitech Shoot. I meant to send this the external list. For those of you just joining us, we recently got an email from google letting us know that some of our pages are now failing the mobile-friendly test, which has an adverse impact on our search results. It appears that most of our pages are also blocking style info. Google doesn't offer much insight into penalties, but if they're sending us the email then it is or will have some impact. I'd like to see if we can better understand the other side of the equation- what is cost of fixing it? I think Jon's questions below are the ones to start with. -J On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 1:35 PM, Jon Robson jrob...@wikimedia.org wrote: It's all in the report. We block w/ in robots.txt always have.

Since Brandon's email a minute ago crossed mine in the ether and did not make it to external lists, I am pasting it here: On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 1:53 PM, Brandon Black bbl...@wikimedia.org wrote: We've merged up https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/214705/1 to address this, and I've purged the caches to ensure the update is fully live already. It should address the issue, assuming that the block on RL's /w/load.php entry point was the only part of the problem.
