Googling for something for the Polish Wikipedia I

the test site
test.wikipedia.com is indexed by Google robots even

We surely don't want this to happen ?
I forgot that even exists... That's on the old server, which I have no
control over. It should be removed entirely, or at least the DNS
pointed at the new server.
I know that this issue is like a yo-yo, but maybe there's something
more that admins can do.
Somebody at Polish Wikipedia, looking for
wibrator site:org
in Google, found this:
pl.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wibrator&action=edit
And this is not the way we want to welcome newcomers, right?
Another issue:
looking at
http://pl.wikipedia.org/robots.txt
we can see (caution: the address below may cause misunderstanding
but that's what one can see!)
# robots.txt for
http://www.wikipedia.org/
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wiki/Special:Maintenance
Disallow: /w/
If so, then how _our_ Special pages are excluded from indexing?
To remind you, our namespace is called Specjalna, so I suggest
replacement:
Disallow: /wiki/Specjalna:Maintenance
BTW, why don't we put just
Disallow: /wiki/Specjalna:
