or ..

• update the wiki pages with the 2015 info and make them relevant again; they have much higher Google score and why would they have to show outdated info or we would have to delete anything? We already link from there to Greenhouse, how about just copy/pasting the current info and keeping the link too. (I said this after seeing the CTO search for 2009 and a link to the same thing from 2015 above).

I don't know if there's an administrators noticeboard on wikimediafoundation

lol

Just to confirm your suspicion re. wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl though:

krenair@tin:~$ mwscript eval.php foundationwiki
> var_dump( in_array( NS_MAIN, $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl ) );
bool(true)

That will indeed prevent main namespace pages from using NOINDEX

We can easily create an Archive: namespace for such pages where NOINDEX will be active (in addition to the signal sent by an "Archive" prefix) and mass-move the pages there with a bot.

Or simply remove NS_MAIN from $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl on wmfwiki

Updating project tags due to T200951. Probably needs rechecking.

Is this still an issue? We have submitted info on the new site to Google, which in theory should have helped correct this.

Yes, the steps to reproduce in the task description still reproduce the problem.
