We've discussed adding a parser tag such as
__NOINDEX__, which would cause the necessary meta tag to
appear in the header, but we were worried about abuse, such as using it to mark POV

vandalism, misguided attempts to systematically de-index the entire wikipedia namespace,
that sort
of thing.
Parser tag might be easier to work in, but I think non-indexing is
something we should probably limit to admins. Maybe a checkbox when
protecting a page ("[] Prevent search engine indexing of this page")?
