Description Krinkle 2010-11-25 09:52:40 UTC
Searching for Wikimedia Commons on Google.nl ( http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=wikimedia+commons / language: dutch ) the top result is this:

* Wikimedia Commons
The IUCN Red List has agreed to license distribution maps derived from the data present on their website with a Creative Commons By-SA 2.0. ...
nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons: - Cached

That's an interwiki link, probably indexed by either a double interwiki (ie. en.wikipedia linking to nl:commons: )

Perhaps make these kind of urls, for interwikis that are not limited to local (such as bugzilla: and mw:), a 301 redirect instead ?
Comment 1 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-02-12 07:10:15 UTC
works for me now
Comment 2 Krinkle 2013-01-14 17:55:04 UTC
Re-opening.

https://www.google.com/search?q=proofread+extension

1. Extension:Proofread Page - MediaWiki

   url: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mw:Extension:Proofread_Page

  The Proofread Page extension can render a book either
  as a column of OCR text beside a column of scanned
  images, or broken into its logical organization ...

Comment 4 Krinkle 2013-01-14 18:00:57 UTC
Clarifying subject.

Bug is previously known as:
" nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/commons:Main_Page indexed by Google "
Comment 5 Erik Moeller 2013-01-20 05:41:24 UTC
As of r84820 MediaWiki has been sending 301s, so changing bug title accordingly.

$ wget -S http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mw:Extension:Proofread_Page

(...)
HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently


Tim, any idea why this bug might be (re-)appearing?
Comment 6 Krinkle 2013-02-03 04:11:30 UTC
Apparently not just for interwiki redirects

q=wikispecies

1. Wikispecies, free species directory

   url: species.wikipedia.org/Wikimedia

   Foundation project that aims to catalog all species.


Is Google just being stupid and treating all 301s are 302s now?
Comment 7 Nemo 2013-02-11 06:43:35 UTC
This is not only about interwikis: I just found
MediaWiki-commits Info Page
mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/.../mediawiki-cvs

$ curl -i http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-cvs
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-cvs

Yes?
Comment 8 Erik Moeller 2013-02-12 02:12:15 UTC
I've sent an inquiry to our contacts at Google about this.
Comment 9 Erik Moeller 2013-02-19 05:41:01 UTC
They're looking into it as of a few days ago; haven't heard anything more specific yet.
Comment 10 Nemo 2013-02-20 13:57:34 UTC
Is canonical url a related issue?
For instance: 
<link rel="canonical" href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Harshad_GNUnify_2013.jpg" />
But first result on Google for "Harshad GNUnify" is the file description on en.wikipedia.org.
Comment 11 Erik Moeller 2013-03-02 08:48:49 UTC
All examples in the bug now return the correct URLs for me. Resolving as fixed for now.

The search
https://www.google.com/search?q=proofread+extension
still returns
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldwikisource:Wikisource:ProofreadPage
which redirects to
http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:ProofreadPage

There are lots of similar examples here:
https://www.google.com/search?q=intitle%3AWikibooks+inurl%3Awikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2Fb%3A
Comment 13 Andre Klapper 2013-03-05 10:45:28 UTC
Entering
         proofread extension inurl:oldwikisource
in Google, the only results I get are
* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldwikisource:Wikisource:Scriptorium
* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldwikisource:Wikisource:2007
Comment 14 Andre Klapper 2013-03-21 15:22:02 UTC
Helder: Do you still see the problem in comment 12?
As I wrote in comment 13, I cannot reproduce.
Comment 15 Helder 2013-03-23 18:06:32 UTC
The first result when I search for "Cookbook:Herbal Iced Tea" is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Cookbook:Herbal_Iced_Tea
which redirects to
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Herbal_Iced_Tea
Comment 16 Andre Klapper 2013-03-25 08:43:19 UTC
I can confirm comment 15 on google.com.
Comment 17 Nemo 2013-05-29 15:44:26 UTC
I checked this bug a few weeks ago and it was still current; now Erik says, "Actually none of the examples in the bug still return the reported results for me" (thanks).
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation/66428/focus=66464
Indeed they seem all resolved now, with a single probably irrelevant exception below. But why this oscillating? :/

That's fixed; second is now en.zero.wikipedia.org/.../File:Harshad_GNUnify , different bug.

Now I only see fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/b:Utilisateur:Airridi‎ here
Comment 18 Matthew Flaschen 2013-05-29 18:29:42 UTC
I don't see the Airridi‎ example on the last one either.  All of the results are about copying to Wikibooks, etc.

Reopen if you have an example that still occurs.
Comment 20 Matthew Flaschen 2013-06-10 22:14:14 UTC
There's still some at https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:%22wiki/commons:%22%20site:en.wikipedia.org , so this is not fully fixed.
Comment 21 Helder 2014-05-07 19:33:34 UTC
https://www.google.com.br/search?q="codeEditor.configure"+site%3Awikipedia.org
shows
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mw:Extension:CodeEditor‎
as its first result
Comment 22 Nemo 2014-11-06 07:41:50 UTC
Still happening. https://archive.today/ysbIZ
Comment 23 Matthew Flaschen 2014-11-13 23:10:20 UTC
It may or may not still be happening.  But I don't see any examples at https://archive.today/ysbIZ .
Comment 24 Nemo 2014-11-14 00:12:22 UTC
(In reply to Matthew Flaschen from comment #23)

Don't you see a list of meta.wikipedia.org URLs? Perhaps you didn't notice the "p"?
