Status changed from Open to Rejected As far as I know, ruby-doc.org is a third-party project. The footer of the site says: > Ruby-doc.org is hosted and maintained by James Britt and the Neurogami secret laboratory. > Questions? Problems? Praise? Suggestions? Write to suggestions@ruby-doc.org So, please contact on that email address. (I'm sorry if I misunderstand something. Feel free to reopen this in such a case.) ---------------------------------------- Feature #15818: Please hide ruby-doc.org pages for EOL releases from the Google index https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15818#change-77891 * Author: nelhage (Nelson Elhage) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- It's a very common experience that if I google a Ruby method or class, the top Google link to me points to the docs for Ruby 2.2 or 2.1 or even 1.9 or 1.8. As a recent example, googling [ruby unicode_normalize] finds me https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.2.1/libdoc/unicode_normalize/rdoc/String.html as the first link. It would be awesome if ruby-doc.org hid EOL releases (or maybe even all releases except the newest) from the Google index, or somehow caused them to be downgraded. I'm not sure precisely what tools Google makes available for this, but hiding them entirely via robots.txt would be a simple (if slightly heavyweight) option. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
