Per page discussions and their associated main pages have the same <title> tags. See links for example:
http://www.wikiwealth.com/commodity:chicken
http://www.wikiwealth.com/forum/t-262006
This problem drops the rankings of both pages on search engines, because they compete against each other. Making this change will allow both pages to rank.
Easy solution: Just add "discussion" to the per page titles. You already did it on the page with "/ Discussion", but you didn't make the change on the <title> tag that search engines use.

We have added canonical link from all "Hidden / Per page discussions". Those pages in forum are variations and are related to wiki pages.

Excellent! The two SEO changes you made over the last few weeks dropped my SEO errors from 5,500 to 2,700 and helped boost my traffic by 15%. I'll search for any other fixes. Sincerely, Thank you.

Seen a great boost in traffic my way as well.
Did anyone see a drop in their duplicate title errors? I, unfortunately, have not seen a reduction in errors. It takes a while for Google's crawlers to go through my site, so I wanted to wait a while to see if this change made any difference. I've attached the latest errors. Should these still show a problem?
