New description:

 Pagination links on templates like
 https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/eshop/page/20/?sausage=dog carry the
 query parameter through.

 These links should instead be constructed from the canonical URL tag,
 rather than from the query/request.

 E.g., the link to page 19 on
 https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/eshop/page/20/?sausage=dog should be
 https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/eshop/page/19/.

 Additionally, rel next/prev tags in the head also carry the query; these
 should be built from the canonical.

 E.g., the rel prev/next links on
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/facebook/page/3/?qEGgVZWOMY6QuASuwpvADg&ved=0CD0QFjAHOGQ&usg=AFQjCNE96Vqc6usb8znBhhw9tvxNe3pKUw
 should be https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/facebook/page/4/ and
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/facebook/page/2/ respectievely.
