Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please add a DNS record to verify Search Console ownership over the following domain, using the process at https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Google#Google_Search_Console

  • wiktionary.org
  • wikibooks.org

These domains currently do not show up in GSC using our owner service account for ITS (oktaservice@).

Event Timeline

Hello Team, I did see wiktionary.org show up in GSC today, though now I need to verify domain ownership in GSC for our service account. Can you please add the following TXT record to our DNS config so that oktaservice@ can become an owner of the domain in GSC?

google-site-verification=Bi5G58QhND4AKKA0hT1YmQTrh7CfhVTGFYCqg7QTni8

(When I see wikibooks.org show up, I will pass along that TXT record too.)

Thank you!

@JKelsoteel-WMF: Can you please try to log in to wikibooks.org as well so we can see the text of the DNS record that needs to be verified?

@ssingh Here is the TXT record for wikibooks.org

Although, it looks like our service account was just granted delegated ownership of wikibooks.org without needing the ownership verified the same way as for wiktionary.org? So I think I'm all set!

Thanks!

Ah interesting, that explains why we couldn't see the verification option on the Search Console. So just to confirm, you are set for both?

Yes, I am set for both! I am able to do all I need to do. Thank you for your help!
