Description (last modified by joostdevalk)

After we've fixed #3951 we should add rel=next / rel=prev to archives like this:

If we do that, Google will understand the pagination of these series and crawl and rank them more logically.

It's going to be a bit hard to add <link> rel=prev/next on some of the Support Forum pages, as the WP_Query of topics isn't available until well into the <body> render AFAICT

Replying to dd32:

the WP_Query of topics isn't available until well into the <body> render AFAICT

Yeah, that's where it got complicated :)

The maximum number of pages is available on page load for topic tags, but not for views.

In 8263:

Support Forums: Output rel="next", rel="prev" meta tags for paginated archives.

Fixes #4142.

Didn't touch pages like ​https://wordpress.org/support/users/sergeybiryukov/replied-to/page/2/ for now, as their canonical URL corrently points to the main WP.org profile, see #4170.

If there's a consensus that subpages like Topics Started, Replies Created, Reviews Written, etc. should have their own canonical tag, we can revisit the next/prev links for them as well.

In 8274:

Support Forums: After [8263], make sure the Reviews view is not treated as a topic tag, and still has the .bbp-view class.

See #4142.
