@thykel worth adding the feature flag to this one? |

Actually, I don't think so. When it comes to crawler optimization, we want to have these exposed as early and as consistently as possible. There's already value in this even for the classic mode, as you can already have multiple URLs pointing to the same resource (slug-based vs. ID-based). |

Merge Pre-requirements
What are you trying to accomplish?
We have been implementing support for historical project URLs as well as semantic identifiers. A side effect of this is the fact that OP may now generate multiple links that lead to the exact same resource.
We do not want to confuse crawlers, so let's group those multiple versions together via a single canonical meta tag.
Screenshots
What approach did you choose and why?
The tag is present on top of every project/WP show page, no matter which URL was used to get to it or which tab is open in the UI.
The unified canonical format is
/projects/:numeric_db_id/work_packages/:numeric_db_id.You may consult the work package to see the reasoning behind this specific format.
