Template:NOINDEX/doc

Usage
This template adds  __NOINDEX__ , which may remove the page from some external search engines and automatically categorizes pages in Category:Noindexed pages. This is sometimes done administratively, but may also be done voluntarily by users to their own user pages, userspace drafts of articles, etc. It has no effect on articles or talk pages.

By default, the template displays no content.

or

Parameters:


 * – makes the template display a line of plain text to inform editors that the page is excluded from search engine indexing:
 * – customise the display text; defaults to "This page has been removed from search engines' indexes."

Warnings
Note: to avoid unexpected results or unnecessary duplication, read Controlling search engine indexing to make sure you are familiar with the different ways noindexing is done.

This template should not be used in articles. If an article is bad enough that search engines shouldn't index it, it should be nominated for deletion.  __NOINDEX__  is disabled in article space and this template consequently has no effect there.

Note: major search engines should respect the NOINDEX tag, but it may take days or even weeks for content already indexed to be removed from them.
