Has anyone tried telling the Google Search Console to index all the Wikisource language domains? Presumably a Foundation sysadmin would need to add the ownership verification tokens to do so: https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome

Hello all,
Apologies for cross-posting.
For those who have not noticed till now, Google is not indexing any Wikisource language editions for the last couple of years which
practically
means that any Wikisource contents in any languages, which are being created in these years, are not searchable on Google and hence largely remain invisible on the web.
This is an extremely demotivating and frustrating situation for the existing Wikisource volunteers to witness, draining away all of our
past
and current efforts to bring and retain viewers, readers, GLAM
partners and
any potential new editors. We already have a very low awareness and visibility about Wikisource among general internet users due to lack of organized support in these years but the invisibility on Google search engine could become the last nail in our coffin, unless it is fixed
soon.
There is a phabricator ticket raised by Darwinius back in December
2022 -

Can't this issue be put into priority by sys admins and WMF to work
upon?
Wikisource is still a sister project of Wikimedia and it needs some
very
basic care, after all.
Regards, Bodhisattwa (Bengali Wikisource volunteer)
