 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:NOINDEX. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
This template adds __NOINDEX__, which may remove the page from some search engines and automatically categorizes pages in Category:Noindexed pages. By default it displays no content.
Parameters:
|visible = yes - makes the template display a line of plain text to inform editors that the page is excluded from search engine indexing.
__NOINDEX__ is disabled in article space and this template consequently has no effect there.[1]
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.
Namespace noindexing
On English Wikipedia the entire user talk: namespace is automatically noindexed.[2]
Robots.txt noindexing
MediaWiki:Robots.txt noindexes sensitive or potentially sensitive pages, primarily in the Wikipedia namespace - for example deletion debates.
Biographies of Living Persons talkpage noindexing
The template {{BLP}} includes the {{NOINDEX}} parameter. The template is added automatically by the {{WikiProject Biography}} talkpage template, if given the parameter |living=yes; see the documentation of that template for more details.
Related templates
These templates include {{NOINDEX}} together with a relevant message:
- {{User sandbox}}
- {{Userspace draft}}
