That's not how it works.  There are two ways of blocking spider access to
pages: when a spider first visits a site, it looks for a file called
"robots.txt" in the root of the site, and follows the rules there to exclude
certain tranches of pages.  When it visits each individual page, it looks for
the "robots" meta tag and, if one is present and tells it to go away, it does
so, and 'forgets' that it was ever on the page.  Modifying
[[MediaWiki:Robots.txt]] appends entries to the site /robots.txt file (or is
supposed to, anyway); it doesn't affect meta tags on pages.
