Wiki meta templates

[alexander1006]

I've just made two templates-- Templates:Metakey and Templates:Metadesc so that we can simply insert these 2 templates intead of copying large amount of text. I seperated them because there are different discriptions in different languages.

sweet that will work for a majority of the pages. Although, altering them to be slightly different based on the page would help, but we can always make more templates.

The Meta templates do 2 things.

metadesc replaces what search engines display for the "short answer" under the results.

metakey replaces which words in a search should trigger that page.

Since all of our pages are lacking meta either way search engines attempt to create it.

For the most part the metadesc is fine on the wiki pages and should not need to be added in mass.

However the keywords are missing from all and the search engines are grabbing a bunch of the wrong words. So the metakey template could be added to the majority of the pages.

That means we need to add these templates to all pages in order to make it search-able by search engines. Simply add {{Template:Metakey}} and {{Template:Metadesc}} head of the page like what you'd do to {{i18n}}.

It means add <metakey> to all pages, but <metadesc> should not go on all pages.

We only need to add <metadesc> if the page doesn't return a proper desc for a page.

So please only add <metakey> to all pages.

Leave <metadesc> alone for now.

ok I'll.

Ok i will only add <metakey> in the page that i will edit.
But, this is for english page.
Do the french page need a french <metakey> or i could use the same for fr and eng page.

could we add the <metakey> in the <Category_playerinfo> or in <Status_green>.
Because most of the english page have already <Category_playerinfo> and <Status_green>, so it will be more easier if we add in the <metakey>.

I will remove the metadesc in the page i already put it in.

[wushin]

For metakeys & metadesc it would be great if they were in the same language as the page is in.

Hi,

before i go further i need some details or explanations.

atm i write the key words for the french <metakey> but should i write it at singular or at plurials? or the both?
ex : Developpement de jeux gratuits
Must i write :
Developpement de Jeux gratuits?
Developpement de Jeu gratuit?
or must i put the both?

same, must i write
Jeux de Role Gratuits or
jeux de role gratuits
