[Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia Zero in Google search result

[Adam Baso]

Hello All,

We had shelved my patch, patch 64629 <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/64629>,
in hopes that an earlier patch, patch
61809<https://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 64629 <https://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.
