Jon <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected], | |[email protected], | |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Jon <[email protected]> --- This gives a good breakdown: http://moz.com/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps Essentially a canonical URL points to the one true URL for that content that search engines should index. In mobile http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page declares http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page as it's canonical URL (e.g. desktop site) We do this to stop mobile results for the same content showing up in search results. I can see this being less of a problem to Wikipedia, but for new projects like Wikivoyage we're probably not helping them rise up the rankings with this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
