Google only puts that particular display in the SERPs for forum sites that are hosted with common off the shelf forum software such as PHP-BB. Google never displays blog sites like that, so you are out of luck.
Google seems to automatically detect the forum sites, and it puts this display in place for them. There is nothing that a forum administrator ...

This is structured data at work, you need to take a look at the Event Schema, you need to include this meta data in your site templates.
What this forum software must be doing is include the Event Schema details for every post that is posted.

I wouldn't worry about "cloaking" on files that are meant only for the consumption of robots. Showing a 403 Forbidden status when the user-agent isn't Googlebot should be fine on a sitemap file. Google cares about cloaking when users see different results than Googlebot. In this case, Google is never going to refer users to the sitemap at all.
I often ...

If I read your question right is that basically you do not want users or any other bots than Bing and Google having the ability to visit sitemap.xml as the contents of the sitemap are generated real time which could cause additional server load that you want to avoid.
If I'm correct you are approaching this in the wrong manner and there should be no reason ...

My currency website supports both mobile and desktop browsers at the same URLs. It isn't responsive, it uses server side user agent detection to serve the correct version of the page.
I submit two sitemaps through webmaster tools. It appears that Google mostly ignores the mobile sitemap for me. They don't complain about it, but it doesn't report any of ...

I believe that Google will only follow that below to the TLD domain so subdomains such as cdn.yourdomain.com will work but a completely different domain will not. Most if not all CDN networks you can setup your domain to work in harmony with one another and should be no reason to use another domain.
Personally note:
In this day and age it's pretty ...

For an average website that supports both rel="canonical" links for both m.domain.com and www.domain.com should only ever need to use 1 sitemap by using Annotation in Sitemaps.
So even if your website is responsive or supports both using different URL you should only ever need to use one sitemap (for standard sites).
Now since your question is about ...

The Maintenance extension only allows you to run a limited set of maintenance scripts. This list does not include generateSitemap.php, so you cannot generate sitemaps using that extension.
Instead, you might be able to use the MaintenanceShell extension, which allows you to run any MediaWiki maintenance script. Of course, even better would be to switch to ...

You could just ignore the whole thing: Google and Bing will crawl and index the main page regardless. The frequency will depend on how often the page is updated.
Your situation might be a problem for a busy news site which must publish first about some burning topics. But for a web shop, no problem at all.

No. There will not be a problem. At least Google will merge and ignore issues between sitemaps such as duplicate entries.
That being said, it is probably less maintenance to fix the source problem. It really should not be that hard even if it takes special code in the sitemap generated to just add the homepage at the beginning of the sitemap.

As you already aware of google sitemap guidelines, i won't dig more into it. Based on my experience, i don't think you can keep other domain's sitemap at your main domain.
I am completely agree with your above comment. it is not necessary to have sitemap file for improving search engine rankings. It just help search engine crawlers to find pages on your ...

The Sitemap is an external file. There is no code to insert in your HTML pages.
The sitemap aims to list all urls of your website in order to help search engines to index them. If your website doesn't have a lot of pages or if Google indexes your web pages correctly, I wouldn't recommend you to spend too much time on it.
Google explains how to manually ...

This is a sitemap intended for web-crawlers. It is not inserted in any page but left as a separate XML file on your server. By the way, there is also a text version of this which is simply one absolute URL per line in a text-file. It does not have any metadata though.
For it to be found, you simply add a line identifying the file from your robots.txt. This ...

Unfortunately, only sitemap_index's can have other sitemap's in them. You have two options as far as I can tell:
You could add a sitemap_index, and then link to your other two sitemaps from there.
You could just add both of your sitemaps to your robots.txt file (more info)
Alternatively, you could also disregard both of the above and just submit each of ...

Tumblr actually creates the sitemap for you automatically under the path /sitemap1.xml - its automatically generated from the pages on your tumblr site.

You'll want both in the root of the site, especially robots.txt because that's where Bot's will be looking for it. The Sitemap could go anywhere, but it would make the most sense in your case to put it in the root, rather than having several sitemaps for each additional language you add in the future.
