I'm having a look at the git repo of interchange, but I seem to not be able to find any place where the scratch canonical value is being set ... Is this something custom to your Interchange install? Could be that I'm looking in the wrong place, but a scratch variable is usually not existing by itself. I see one location where canonical is being set (in strap/results.html), but that does not seem to match your code.

CU,

**************************
I believe Josh from Endpoint added this to our site. He is no longer at endpoint.
Top template has [scratch canonical]
All the pages and flypages have this code:

[tmp canonical]<link rel="canonical" href="__SAMPLEURL__/@@MV_PAGE@@[if scratch mv_add_dot_html].html[/if]">[/tmp]

Have no idea how this works, where it's pulling data from, or why it's showing flypage instead of product page.  Maybe from catalog.cfg?
