feat: declare the RFC Editor info page canonical for RFCs and subseries - #11481
Merged
Conversation
The authoritative home of an RFC, and of a bcp/std/fyi subseries document, is the RFC Editor's info page, so declare that page canonical on the datatracker pages that render the same document. This deliberately consolidates search results on rfc-editor.org for those documents. Documents of other types keep the self-referential canonical they had. The subseries pages declared no canonical at all before this, as they do not include opengraph.html, so they gain a pagehead block.
The RFC Editor serves its info pages with a trailing slash, so the bcp and std redirects were sending visitors to a URL that redirects again. Add the missing fyi equivalent while here.
