Older URI schemes are still being linked to and indexed. For those cases, an .htaccess rule should be implemented. For the other stuff that's just bad routes, not much to do about that.
301 /tracker/joomla-cms-3-issues* /tracker/joomla-cms* for example
301 /tracker/jtracker-bugs* /tracker/jtracker* the other main one
The two schemes I pointed out above are the common ones (before we renamed the aliases for the CMS & issue tracker to what they are now). Just fixing those two then letting Google re-index should make the remaining results more usable.
Have you tried to apply the rules above to .htaccess? :)
Nope. I have a hard enough time with .htaccess rules on my own. I *THINK* these might work, but someone who understands .htaccess better than me should verify.
RewriteRule /tracker/joomla-cms-3-issues^(.*)$ https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule /tracker/jtracker-bugs^(.*)$ https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/jtracker$1 [R=301,L]
Did your commit help?
Well, Search Console isn't giving me any crawl errors right now so I'd say yes.
