描述

Acceptance criteria

  • Board meeting minutes are accessible only on the www subdomain, not on the docs subdomain
  • Community pages such as /community/desktops/ and /community/logos/ are available only on the www subdomain, not the docs subdomain
  • If needed, links are updated or redirects are added to avoid 404s for these pages (investigation needed)

Original report

It looks like we may be sending confusing signals to Google by putting old docs versions in sitemap-<lang>.xml, but then telling it only one of those versions is canonical:

研究方向
Investigate which non canonical versions are being included in the sitemap. Look at the sitemap generation logic in the Django project, likely in a management command or view. Determine if redirects are needed for moved pages. Check the current sitemap output to see the specific URLs causing the issue. The issue mentions old docs versions and community pages; verify the current behavior and update the generation code to exclude non canonical URLs.
