Day All, when I check the site vsn-nederland.nl with for example Bing, I get: "The inspected URL is a redirect and cannot be indexed by Bing". Then when I check the redirection I get: "Meta description tag missing".
Does anyone know how I can solve this ?
I can't find an html file anywhere to modify the headers in ?
MediaWiki 1.34.4
PHP 7.4.16 (litespeed)
MariaDB 10.3.28-MariaDB-log-cll-lve
ICU 64.2
Hope 1 of you knows advice.
Kind regards
Have you tried the same checks with other MediaWiki sites? Maybe it's just because they redirect to Main_Page, e.g. https://vsn-nederland.nl/index.php/Hoofdpagina
That's also an answer, but ... let's just assume that I'm really curious about this and assume that there will be a solution after all.
Or am I asking too much ?
Where can I adjust the headers ? (That's what I'm curious about ;-) At most sites in html, but where can I find that file ?)
I'd be interested to see what tests you're referring to - could you share links here?
I wonder if it's possible to avoid example.com changing to example.com/Main_Page (but still serve the Main Page) - maybe some ideas here: Manual:Short URL/Apache?
Extension:WikiSEO lets you add meta tags like description.
First, of course, you are completely free to test the site vsn-nederland.nl with whatever site tester you want. With Nibbler the site gets an overall score of 7.2 , which is not bad at all. Just think of me as someone who came out of Formula 1 and still wants better scores.
The suggestions you made are certainly interesting, well worth looking into. The Extension:WikiSEO I would like to install, while I understand that it is for version 1.35 and higher and can't find the version for 1.34. (Which of course could be just me !)
Ps.
As long as version 1.35 and up doesn't work with all browsers I'm not going to update.
With WikiSEO I'm using v1.2.1 with MW 1.34 and I see there's a 1.2.1 tag you could use if downloading using git.
Could you tell me about 1.35 and browsers? I am on the verge of upgrading from 1.34 to 1.35 as I think finally most of the extensions/skins I use are now compatible.
Okay, thanks, I'll definitely try.
About 1.35 and browsers I posted an issue under Problem with chromium/webkit browsers and login.
It may be that the display problem has been fixed with an update to MW version 1.35.2. I don't know ... I have not been able to try it out yet because the host has to change a setting first: "php-proc-get-status ON (detected: OFF)". (As long as on off an update is not accepted by Installatron).
I hope it will happen next week.
@Jonathan3 Hi, in the meantime I have updated to MW version 1.35.2, and Yes, the problem with display by chromium and webkit browsers appears to be solved 👍. Zie https://vsnwiki.nl
