Changes

In the long run it would be good that the pages of imedwiki can easily be found on search engines. My main perspective is good high quality content and I am somewhat unwilling to step away from that principle due to rules made up by search engines. Right now to get pages like the main page found on google it's necessary to search for "imedwiki integrative medicine" and afterwards select to not search for "imed wiki" but imedwiki to get the imedwiki page on [[integrative medicine]] displayed in the search results at all.

The development of the search results on google last october showed the power of algorithms to me and how easily a decision by a company can have huge impact on a project.

The further design of Imedwiki will needs to deal with the way search engines work, do as much search engine optimization as needed. It may not disturb the main quality goals of the project though. Producing high quality content will be the main objective. This is not for search engines but for the people reading the pages (but if no one finds the content, no one will read it). It might make sense to remove article pages that are purely imports from wikipedia and to reference wikipedia. If there are just small changes or additions to an article that is otherwise mainly imported from wikipedia it might make sense to keep only the differences here and link wikipedia for the rest. Some kind of template for this could be developed.  

I'd like to better understand this issue so this post might pose as a basis for exchange and pages on Imedwiki. Please add comments, suggestions, similar experiences at the [[Imedwiki talk:Blog/2023-03 Imedwiki on google|discussion page]].
