For reference, I opened this bugzilla bug https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13864 because, I think fairly obviously, I support minimizing indexing by external sources of anything other than encyclopedic content (mainspace (article) pages, and images... not even their talks) for just about every case. I tried to suggest that there should be an easy general way to do this. BRION said there is already. So I guess what is needed is the discussion to validate it. It is difficult to achieve consensus for anything controversial on en:wp but I hope this gains traction. Larry Pieniazek Hobby mail: Lar at Miltontrainworks dot com
