Description
Description
Though sitemaps can be generated via the docs make file, the default behavior in generating documentation is not including the sitemap nor including the last update timestamps for each item listed.
These improvements across the docs will assist with AI agent (for scraping/training, and otherwise) or search engine crawlers/scrapers for understanding when certain docs have last been updated.
This is a natural follow-up to:
Suggested Fix
A published sitemap, and for the sitemap to have last update timestamps.
Type of documentation
Salt documentation
Location or format of documentation
Should exist:
- https://docs.saltproject.io/en/3006/sitemap.xml
- https://docs.saltproject.io/en/3008/sitemap.xml
- https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/sitemap.xml
- https://docs.saltproject.io/en/master/sitemap.xml
Which can then all be referenced by a base, top-level sitemap generated by builddocs when all docs are generated/deployed (this can be a follow-up issue/PR inside of builddocs repo):
