Google can certainly index our beloved, well-behaved, text- and
context-rich, low-bandwidth sites.*
The fact that this happens differentially for Google and not other indexes
implies it's within their control.

I realize SEO has its own jargon, but to those not immersed in the field
it is completely tautological to say a page is not indexed because "the
indexing process determines that the page is unlikely to be requested in
search." In an open-ended search, you aren't necessarily requesting a

Hi all,
I am Jorge Vargas, Director of Partnerships at WMF. It was lovely to see
many of you in person last week in Singapore! Hope you’re all doing well
and energized after a week of celebration and learning, for those who were
in person as well as online.
As Nicholas Perry shared on August 3rd
For many months I have been extremely frustrated with Wikisource due to
Google not indexing what is being added to it. I also suspect the problem
may have to do with Ilario Valderi and Galder described, the gadget
parafernalia under it, which seems to have got more complex by 2019 (I seem

+1 to this. I suggest adding what you indicated to the agenda of the next
Wikisource Community meeting to request it formally from WMF on behalf of
the user group.
Best,

Agree, there was unfortunately very little opportunity to meet with
potential partners at Google to discuss collaboration opportunities.
Not sure if there are potential next steps.

Hi,
The sessions at Google headquarters in Singapore were designed in a way
that there was no option to sit together and discuss this grave issue with
Google's Search team. I guess, the slim opportunity for the Wikisource
volunteers to discuss the issue directly with Google was unfortunately
lost.
+1 to this! It can be quite helpful for smaller sites. Thanks for the idea
Tilman.

Apropos Google Search Console:
This might also be an opportunity to make public at least some of the data
that Search Console provides to site owners. That should enable community
members (especially from smaller projects) to detect such issues earlier

Has anyone tried telling the Google Search Console to index all the
Wikisource language domains? Presumably a Foundation sysadmin would
need to add the ownership verification tokens to do so:

Hi Everyone,
I think this is a good opportunity to discuss with Google's Search Team
here in Singapore in 2 weeks time.

Am having the same issue with Google poorly indexing MDWiki.org. I have
personally switched my default browser to duckduckgo as they index much
better. The two folks at Google who used to support their collaborations
with Wikipedia are no longer with the company. Not sure if they have been
replaced
