What's the right way to disable "nofollow" in MediaWiki? Grep for "setRobotpolicy( 'noindex,nofollow' )" in all the /include files and change them one by one?
Problem: Our intranet spider, a Google Mini search appliance, randomly sees "nofollow" directives for pages in MediaWiki 1.9.3 and reports:
Excluded: On page with robots nofollow meta tag.
In repeated spiderings, the same page might get excluded or not, seemingly randomly. Out of 10 spiderings of a particular page, say, 6 of them will fail with this error. Maybe the same link appears with and without "nofollow" on different wiki pages (say, articles vs. category pages), and whichever one the spider hits, it obeys?
Thanks, DanB
