Yes, this came up in a discussion I was having here with someone else
yesterday, that the distributed PmWiki pages probably shouldn't get
indexed by robots. But rather than test for source in wikilib.d,
I was just going to default to excluding the PmWiki group from indexing
(figuring it'd be okay for the three distributed pages in Main to be
indexed):
if (FmtPageName('$Group',$pagename)=='PmWiki') ... // don't index
Other possibilities:
- Encode a "noindex" directive in the markup somehow
- Provide a $RobotsIndexPages array that specifies pagename patterns to
be indexed/followed by robots
OTOH, it's really interesting sometimes to do a google search for 'PmWiki'
and see all of the installations that have been done... :-)
