@rustybrick @lizzi @johnmu yeah, and it's weighing on me like a brick

@rustybrick @lizzi @johnmu just cleaned it up; it collected a lot of potentially unnecessary sentences over the years. And we linked out to a couple external resources from those with more working knowledge on site moves (I haven't done a proper site move in over a decade /shrug)

@wksears well you can only put stuff in the header with http redirects; there's no body.
But anyway, I need to be reasonably vague here and I hate it and I apologize for that: I think we shouldn't forward the noindex with redirects unless we can be exceptionally certain that the target also wants the noindex. I imagine that on same site the noindex would forward in some cases, but across sites it would not. This is a pretty bad hijack vector, hence being vague

@MontseCano @rustybrick that's an overstatement. Haven't spoken any Spanish for years, but my understanding level is still pretty high fortunately

@johnmu no
