When I look at the page source of <http://en.m.wikipedia.org/> currently, I notice two things: <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"/> and... <link rel="canonical" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page"; > So what is needed to resolve this bug? Simply removing the noindex/nofollow HTML output (presumably this is behind a PHP configuration variable)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
