Add Archive namespace on Governance Wiki to robots to block search indexing
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please add the Archive namespace to the robots setup to block indexing of that namespace by search engines.

Specifically, I think the $wgNamespaceRobotPolicies setting for foundationwiki needs to be set to:

112 => 'noindex,follow', // archives
113 => 'noindex,follow', // archives talk

Thank you!
