**As** a search engine or bot
**I want to** know the canonical URL of the page I am currently browsing
**so that** I don't punish duplicate content
**Background**
We're introducing new project-based semantic project & work package IDs, which will also be used in URLs. The "old" database-ID based URLs should also still work, so that users can still access their bookmarks etc. For performance reasons we decided against doing redirects when accessing such a page.
**Acceptance criteria**
* A `rel="canonical"` `link` element links to the page with the database ID
* This link can always be part of the page, even if it already was accessed via a URL using the database ID
* This applies only for project and work package show pages / routes
**Technical notes**
* <br>
**Permissions and visibility considerations**
* Visibility of pages does not change
**Translation considerations**
* Nothing to translate
**Out of scope**
