?action=info checks page_props to detect if a page is indexed or not. So this will be incorrect on new unpatrolled pages.
Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- enwiki
- find a newish page in mainspace that is unreviewed. visit it.
- go to "Tools -> Page information"
What happens?:
- "Indexing by robots" says "Allowed"
What should have happened instead?:
- "Indexing by robots" should say "Not allowed" or equivalent
Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
- My guess is PageTriage tweaks whether noindex is shown, but forgets to do a corresponding update to "Page information -> Indexing by robots". This should be fixed to avoid confusion.
Possibly this can be fixed by using the InfoAction hook.
