Description The Evil IP address 2011-02-08 10:09:14 UTC 
I believe it's worth consideration to remove certain elements from the Google indexing. This can be done with the <!--googleoff--> and <!--googleon--> tags. I have already noticed editsection links or the jump to links within the Google text, which are quite useless there.
Comment 1 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-02-08 22:05:38 UTC 
Doesn't the use of nofollow make this meaningless?
Comment 2 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-02-08 22:07:25 UTC 
Nevermind, I see how this is completely different.  Do you have any other suggestions for elements that should be removed?
Comment 3 The Evil IP address 2011-02-09 12:29:33 UTC 
Let me see: probably the .printfooter is also useless there, a bit unsure about the tagline, because that information is already in the <title> element. I would however probably leave the navigation, because it contains links to other wiki pages.
Comment 4 The Evil IP address 2011-02-09 21:09:32 UTC 
Addition: the "redirected from" message should probably also be removed from the Google indexing.
