Author: schinken
Description:
If the permissions for editing pages is restricted to guests, the meta-tags for robots are not set (noindex,nofollow)
It happens inside the EditPage-Function, where the Permissions are checked.
If the user is not allowed to edit a page, it returns from that function and never executes the "setHeader" function.
This function is responsible for setting the robots noindex,nofollow metatag
Version: 1.19
Severity: normal

Set 'noindex,nofollow' robot meta tag on 'view source' pages
I believe this patch is important for SEO reasons. I see no good reason to allow crawlers to index 'view source' mode in addition to the regular article view.
