            Bug ID: 52429
           Summary: Language variants currently point to the same
                    canonical URL
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: wmf-deployment
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

Language variants currently point to the same canonical URL. For example, on
this page:

http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E6%B1%89%E8%AF%AD

...there is a rel=”canonical” pointing to
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B1%89%E8%AF%AD

This rel=”canonical” link asks search engines to index the Simplified Chinese
page to represent the content on both pages, instead of separately indexing the
Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese pages. Similar rel=”canonical” links
are found on all zh-TW pages.  Google is reporting that we see a similar
problem on other Chinese (e.g. zh-SG) and Serbian content pages.

(this may be caused by the fix to bug 48402)
