That is quite sad and at the same time intriguing!

Has this affected other Indian languages as well?

Hi all,<div>Happened to see Gerard&#39;s blog post on issues with Malayalam=

=A0While traffic to websites ( yes, including=C2=A0Wikipedia=C2=A0) is prim=
ary driven by search traffic ,apparently this had a negative effect as show=
n by WM stats. As he explains, the problem is there needs to be canonical e=
