--- Comment #3 from Carl Austin Bennett <[email protected]> 2012-11-10 21:01:44 UTC --- As far as I know, voy: is a valid interwiki to en.wikivoyage.org but wikivoyage: is not yet a valid prefix. To change these links will require that a robot be unleashed on every wiki with a {{wikitravel}} or {{wikitravelpar}} template to stick a {{wikivoyage}} template in its place with the voy: prefix. That hits a few odd languages like Cebuano or Romanian, as well as most of the majors (except Spanish and Japanese, which killed off the template years ago as IB spam) There should be no links from anything WMF to a direct competitor's site; failing that, rel="nofollow" is a bare minimum. It will also be likely necessary at some point to start contacting owners of external (non-WMF, non-IB) sites who currently link to WT, politely explain the situation and ask they update these links. Search engines tend to penalise duplicate content; to convince them that we are the main site and IB is the fork, we need as many links as possible pointing to wikivoyage.org and no links pointing to the old WT domain. Anything less allows IB to fragment the project as readers are directed in error to the abandoned fork, where staff are systematically censoring all information that the primary contributors have left for Wikivoyage. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
