Hi all,
I am not sure if this is encountered by others, but often when I search for something regarding OpenStack, the first few results are of older versions. For example, my last search was "keystone config service_token_roles_required", which returns a Pike[1] URL as first result.
For older versions, the documentation does have a header which is something like "This release is no longer supported by the community. The current supported release is 2023.2." It links to new documentation[2], but drops me to the docs root instead of the new version of this page and usually is not useful for me. (I understand it is not possible to drop at the same page as documentation moves around). I often try to change the version in the URL to 'latest' which works sometimes.
I wonder if we can help to fix this? Looking at other people with this issue[3], a few strategies seems to have help. (Disclaimer: I am not a SEO expert).
1. Prevent Google from indexing the older versions by using `noindex`[4] 2. Removing old documentation so it is flushed from Google
