Not that this is a bad idea, I think a magic would would be great, and
would be a huge help to BLP issues on otrs etc. I do think that our
policy pages and some other pages in non-mainspace are important and
interesting, and in the spirit of openness I think they should be
indexed though.

[[WP:NPOV]] should be indexed for example, but

maybe not so much :)
