--- Comment #5 from Richard Guk <[email protected]> --- Well at least I've demonstrated that the current wording is confusing. :/ There are at least four confusable tests: - robots:noindex meta tag (reported) - __NOINDEX__ behavior switch (sets meta tag in non-article space) - robots.txt status (not reported; set independently) - internal search status (not reported; always true?). So, to reflect the robots meta value more closely, how about: "External search: Index / No index" Stilted grammar, but makes it easier to see that it corresponds to the noindex meta tag. And, given the potential for confusion, there's a strong case for linking "External search" to an explanatory page such as [[WP:NOINDEX]] or the [[noindex]] article. (See also bug 42867 for an inconsistency in the reported search status depending on how a page is specified in the URL.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
