Hi @Lofhi, thanks for taking the time to report this! For future reference, please include what you see where and what you expect instead, so people looking at this ticket a while later don't have to guess what was the situation at the time of reporting... I guess this is about a mobile page on French Wikipedia?
Ah, sorry, I'll think about it next time. Special pages should not be accessed by robots (robots.txt disallow it), and the expected result is that these pages are not referenced (<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">). So I think the problem is this: the pages can't be accessed and Google can't take the noindex into account. For some reason, these pages have been indexed before.
I think this may be primarily Google's problem, but I'll also note that this doesn't seem to be exclusive to the mobile site; see this enwiki VPT section for another instance of a page with NOINDEX and in robots.txt appearing in Google search results.
