So it is not yet an offical FANDOM "recommandation" as "best practice". But unless I'm mistaken, SEO improvement has been talked about for a long while, right ? And I suppose lots of of Wiki Managers are also working in the Web industry where "search engine gaming" along with the future importance of the Mobile interface for growth (due to Smartphones useage) is second nature ...

But wasn't there some "SEO" project done on Wikis prior to Migration ? I am pretty sI saw WikiText edits done by a bot regarding SEO and unless I'm mistaken it also involved work with the Main Page & Category Tree last year.But again it might have been a "personal intiative" rather than a FANDOM-wide thing... IIRC there was a SEO person who did a Discord AMA who would know (:^) ...

What is really interesting is that all it does allow Google to charge more for the First Page "ad links" by putting the "most responsive" sites just below those ads ... Oh! Well the Web was mostly engineered around porn and now click-baiting is nothing more than "opinion porn"... But that's a totally separate subject. (^) ...

Anyway I contribute to a very small Wiki that I'm pretty sure will have 0 impacts in FANDOM pages performance in "Search Engines & Traffic Analytics". So I think I'm gonna disengage from this topic (^).

P.S. Thanks for all the informative Blog Entries, they're really appreciated.
