Bug #: 42029
Summary: Links from wikivoyage.org to wikivoyage-old.org (any
subdomain) need rel="nofollow"
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Blocks: 41184
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The [[Mediawiki:Sitenotice]] on the various Wikivoyage sites has a link "View
this page on the old site" which appears to be inserted server-side in some
non-standard manner. As search engines need to index "wikivoyage.org" (and not
an archive, fork or mirror such as wikivoyage-old or wikitravel) any outbound
links from Wikivoyage to old copies of the same data on other sites need
rel="nofollow". Omitting this can incur some problematic duplicate content
penalties from search engines, as they have no way to know that wikivoyage-old
is *not* the main site.
