Gabriel Wicke <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Priority|Low |Lowest --- Comment #3 from Gabriel Wicke <[email protected]> --- Yesterday here at Wikimania Yong-Gang Wang of Google mentioned that their general crawling pipeline has a rule that disregards rel="nofollow" on all MediaWiki-powered sites. I would not be surprised if other engines had similar rules. This suggests that adding rel="nofollow" has become largely pointless in MediaWiki. Blame all those high-quality external links that are hard to pass up for search engines. Lowering priority to 'lowest' to reflect this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
