A lot of pages ending in *.it,*.pl or whatever seem to be doing this, and my search for better documentation on KWin Rules regex led me to a "grocery store's" webpage (Which I've archived in case the url evidence stops working): link removed by moderator
Why is this happening?

What exactly are you talking about? Some more context might be useful...


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

I'm not sure what more context to provide...I just wanted to put it out there that it appears some sites are copying text from other sites (including ones relating to KDE as I put in the example—I think it was from KDE's mailing list archives) in what I think is an attempt to cheat the ranking system that search engines us to QC relevance of their search results...I don't know if there's already a discourse on this or not....

It happens everywhere on the Internet, not sure it's possible to do anything against those (sue them? Nah).

Please remove the link from your first comment, we don't really want to give them backlinks - or if any moderator is around, please remove the links.
