Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Context
When I type my full name in Google, all the plume-related results that appear are from other instances serving content from mine (articles, users). I have no problems with my content being accessible from other instances, it's the essence of federated networks after all but I had a little improvement to suggest regarding search results.
Suggestion
Whenever an article/user page is served from a foreign instance, add a
<link rel="canonical" href=… />
pointing to the URL of the same content on the original instance. This tag makes complying search engines understand that the current page mirrors another one.Pros
There might be cons, but I couldn't think of any...
This element should be placed in the
<head>
right?This should probably be closed now.
Indeed!
