Thanks Daniel for your prompt response! Currently, I am using Mediawiki version 1.17.
I tried to add $wgEnableCanonicalServerLink <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableCanonicalServerLink> = true; to LocalSettings.php. When I add <link rel="canonical"> on Main Page, the code will visible. I tried CanonURL extension, but it requires Mediawiki version 1.20. Is there proper way to accept rel=canonical on version 1.17 of Mediawiki? Thanks.
