We need a setting that allows us to enable indexing of article placeholders. This setting should allow indexing ("index,follow"), either for all placeholders (when set to true) or for all Entities up to a certain Id offset (for example the value Q3000 would allow indexing only Q1, Q2 … Q3000).
The robot policy can be set by overriding SpecialPage::getRobotPolicy in SpecialAboutTopic.

Change 318680 had a related patch set uploaded (by Oschposch):
Allow indexing of article placeholders
Given that Wikidata is mainly indexed in English, this might be a good solution. Ideally it would be limited to placeholders with a sensible amount of statements and labels in the target language.
Resolving this is a huge step towards actually indexing placeholders… thanks for your help in solving this, @oschposch!
