Hello,
Excluding index.php using robots.txt should work if an article link
on your page is
http://mysite.tld/My_Page. The robots would then not
crawl
http://mysite.tld/index.php?title=My_Page&action=editedit, etc.
Kasimir, I believe you have written above a beautiful solution for my
need. My article links on my site (
http://wikigogy.org) are indeed done
without reference to index.php but the 'edit', 'history' and other
action pages that I wish to exclude are done with that reference. I had
not realized this simple elegant solution. I will try it. It should
look like this in my-wiki/robots.txt, right?:
User-agent: *
Disallow: index.php*
Is the asterisk on index.php* correct and needed?
Thank you,
Roger
