To prevent web SearchEngines' spiders from crawling non-content pages, most of WikkaWiki's WikiEdit, PageHistoryInfo, etc pages include robots meta tags to prevent the spiders from indexing them. This keeps the databases of the SearchEngines cleaner, at least for your website. This page aims to help make your website more friendly to robots.

To start, you probably want to add deleted pages to the list of pages which get the robots meta tag. You can use this patch:
