I just noticed that canonical links have "&" instead of "&" in their title when there is a start parameter.
Example:
Code: Select all

Maybe I should have specified. I am talking about the canonical link in the source code:
Code: Select all
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/viewtopic.php?t=14061&start=15">
Yes. For example, a topic can be accessed via /viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14061 and /viewtopic.php&t=14061 (without forum parameter). The second one is the canonical URL.janus_zonstraal wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 9:21 am Are there Canonical links in a standard phpbb installation?

In a URI a "&" states the beginning of a a new parameter while "&" means literally "just a &, no new parameter".HiFiKabin wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 11:33 am because & is HTML for "Start of a character reference" egand so onCode: Select all

to appear in the search bar, then you put the HTML &
in the HTML code A search engine crawler does not "click" on a link in a code. It parses the URL and tries to access it. That it works for the search engine crawlers just maybe means that they are clever and accommodating and can correct URLs.
