Bug #: 36174
Summary: Alow indexing of redirects
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Redirects
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
For some reason search engines are not showing redirect pages anymore. I'm
pretty sure a search such as
*
https://www.google.com.br/search?q=%22Fryderyk+Szopen%22+site%3Aen.wikipedia.org
or
*
http://br.search.yahoo.com/search?n=10&ei=UTF-8&va_vt=any&vo_vt=any&ve_vt=any&vp_vt=title&vf=all&vm=p&fl=0&fr=yfp-t-707&p=intitle%3A%22Fryderyk+Szopen%22&vs=en.wikipedia.org
would return a page whose title is "Fryderyk Szopen", since there is a redirect
at
* http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fryderyk_Szopen&redirect=no
What changed?
A search for 'intitle:"Fryderyk Szopen" site:en.wikipedia.org' returns nothing:
*
https://www.google.com.br/search?q=intitle%3A"Fryderyk+Szopen"+site%3Aen.wikipedia.org
This is bad for articles on wikis (e.g. those in Portuguese) where there are
title differences caused by language variants, since both titles are valid but
we can have only one page (and we shouldn't privilege one of the variants).
