<br /> | Google (and one can assume other Search Engines) wants an authortative / single ULR (AKA link) defined for every 'page' of content on the internet. There can be several URLs that 'link' / connect to a single page of content. We as humans don't really care, but remember, there's a human perspective and a 'robot' perspective, this is all about the 'search bots'. | ||
In broad internet terms it is referred to as a [[wikipedia:Canonical_link_element|Canonical Link Element]]. In the Google Search Console, it is referred to as: User-declared canonical AND Google-selected canonical. | |||

* In the LocalSettings.php File, add these to lines (from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCanonicalServer<nowiki/>and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableCanonicalServerLink) | |||

** $wgEnableCanonicalServerLink = "true";<br /> | |||
