Sorry for the double post: For what it's worth .... It does not appear that we have a canonical url appearing on most pages. Mobile has canonical pointing to the main site but neither zero or the main site have a canonical expressly stated.

At some level there seems to be a change in google (or our) settings that are doing this everywhere. I've also been seeing a lot of links indexed and appearing in google as the primary domain too (wikipedia.org/wiki/Bostonrather then en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston, seen it on Wikivoyage as well and I assume the others). At some level we're probably going to want to figure out what's happening because at some point down the road 'something' changed just not sure on what side.

Hello All,
We had shelved my patch, patch 64629https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/64629, in hopes that an earlier patch, patch 61809https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/61809(bug 35233 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35233), would resolve the issue naturally as Google re-indexed. But it appears Google has re-indexed and yet the .zero.wikipedia.org URLs are still present in Google's index, instead of the <language>.wikipedia.org URLs.
I have thus resubmitted patch 64629https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/64629 for re-review. We will need to further discuss whether it is appropriate to have Google completely remove .zero.wikipedia.org links from their cache, or if perhaps we need to open a support thread with Google about canonical URLs.

Adam Baso (copied on this email) is working on it and a fix is ready. He'll do some testing to make sure it's resolved.
