Template:NOINDEX/doc

This template adds __NOINDEX__, which may remove the page from some search engines and automatically categorizes pages in Category:Noindexed pages.

__NOINDEX__ is disabled in article space and this template consequently has no effect there.<ref>This is controlled by the MediaWiki software setting $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl, which defaults to $wgContentNamespaces, which is set to main space on almost all Wikimedia projects – see here and here.</ref>

Parameters: |visible = yes : makes the template display a line of plain text to inform editors that the page is excluded from search engine indexing.
