So, I bow to the wisdom of others, and suggest this

1. blank and protect

wikipedian, even newbies, will know to click on 'history')
3. ask brion to see what he can cook up for blocking search spiders from it

Going over the archives is still going to be a major comitment of
rescorces (unless we give a bot admin powers and people are still not
completely happy about doing that).
