SEMRush is telling me I have errors.

During a Site Audit, it states that “5 pages have duplicate meta descriptions”

Those 5 pages are:

`https://forum.mydomainname.com/`  
`https://forum.mydomainname.com/categories`  
`https://forum.mydomainname.com/guidelines`  
`https://forum.mydomainname.com/privacy`  
`https://forum.mydomainname.com/tos`

I promise you, I did look for this answer before running to the forum - but how do I change the meta descriptions on these pages so I can make SEMRush and the Google Overlords happy again?

Thanks -

I think this is a reasonable feature request, we can do better here with the meta descriptions.

For example TOS has:

```plaintext
<title>Discourse Meta</title>
<meta name="description" content="Discussion about the next-generation open source Discourse forum software">

```

What it really should say is:

```plaintext
<title>Discourse Meta - Terms of Service</title>
<meta name="description" content="Discussion about the next-generation open source Discourse forum software - Terms of Service">

```

@nbianca can you have a look at cleaning this up? @codinghorror any particular changes / text you would like to see here?

The title part, yes, it is. [Check it](https://meta.discourse.org/tos) out!

The part with description not, because it does not actually provide anything. I can do that too, it is no biggie.
