Frist, I am not sure I understood your request properly so, just in case, I am going to clarify the situation: - Search engines are allowed to crawl the whole wiki (TitleIndex and a few other pages don't have "nofollow"). [Searching for "Debian edu" in Google points, links the the wiki page] - The links in the regular pages (i.e user-contributed pages) have the tag "nofollow". Therefore, spamming those pages with links is useless because google don't consider that you voted for that external page. Spammers seems interested in spamming a wiki even if the spammed pages is deleted after 15 minutes. I don't think that search engines should be allowed to follow wiki links, unless an ACL prevent new users from spamming that page (which defeats the purpose of a wiki :-/ ) Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
