Should we only mark canonical URI indexable? Otherwise Google may index three duplicated pages for each object.
Should Index:
https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en/Z1
Should not index:
https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Z1
https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Special:ViewObject/en/Z1
Note the later two pages have <link rel="canonical" href="..."> whose href refers to itself, not the view endpoint.
Eh, so please double check pages with index,follow but <link rel="canonical" href="..."> points to elsewhere are not indexed
