Google has introduced a new feature in the Google App for iOS that injects links to Google into websites viewed in the app. This overrides the editing communities' decisions on internal and external linking to add an external link that would never survive on any project. There is an opt-out form that needs to be filled out by someone with Search Console access.

Thank you for filing. I've filled out the form just now for the wikipedia.org domain, on behalf of the WMF Web Team, as we typically monitor SEO-related issues and manage the search console. We should be good to go on this going forward, please flag if there are issues.

@Reedy - A good question! I've asked about this and will follow back up here when I hear more. I initially supposed the domain property percolated down but this appears not to be the case. I'll reply back when I get the full list and can update the form. Moving back to "In Progress" for now as I work through this.

FYI - I've raised this in the context of Partnership checkin meeting with the Google representative. This might be able to address the issue across the whole organisation rather than requiring manual checks for each individual domain etc. I will advise if this gets resolved through that manner.
