Jesús Martínez Novo (Ciencia Al Poder) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Jesús Martínez Novo (Ciencia Al Poder) <[email protected]> --- Apparently, MediaWiki is already doing it's job for images. But there's something users should also do on their part. "Image publishing guidelines" from google: [1] suggests as a best practice to use "detailed, informative filenames". Failing to do that may cause google to index the thumbnails because of their context in the article, not the filename. It also mentions "Even if your image appears on several pages on your site, consider creating a standalone landing page for each image". That's where image description pages come to play. Another actions that can be taken are using an image sitemap [2] [3] or even preventing the indexation of thumbnails with robots.txt rules. Since thumbs are grouped in a separate directory, this can be done easily. MediaWiki already has a tool for generating sitemaps [4], maybe it can be improved to generate image sitemaps as well (I don't know if it generates them). Maybe create an enhancement bug for this one? ---- [1] https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/114016?hl=en [2] https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/178636?hl=en [3] http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/27176/make-google-index-the-actual-image-not-the-thumbnail [4] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:GenerateSitemap.php -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
