Attachment pages indexed on apps.wordpress.com

Description

URLs like https://apps.wordpress.com/img_2389/ shouldn't be exposed to / in search engines.

Arguably, they're not useful to users, either.

At best, redirect requests to these templates (via a 301 header) to the URL of the media asset in question.

At least, include a meta robots directive on these templates with a noindex, follow value.

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

Since the site is hosted on wp.com there's nothing we can do here.

Also worth noting that this is the default WordPress behaviour, attachment pages are a thing.. Perhaps this is worthy of a core ticket discussion?
