No index old standards #783

Open odscjames opened 1 week ago

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/build-sitemap says Google ignores <priority> and <changefreq> values.

So don't index old ones?

Let's discuss how further to go here.

At least we probably want the "203" string to be a Django Setting somewhere.

Do we want to try and have the version as a field on the page somewhere so we aren't parsing URLs? (Not that the URL's are likely to change.) Should we try and make guidance dev docs a different model?

Or is not indexing a bad idea in all, what if people want to find old versions? Then I think our only option is to make a giant big banner on the top of old versions saying "Go here for latest version!" (Maybe we should do that anyway?)

TODO: Just realised we'll want to remove these pages from the site map too.
