Many people go on and on about how Wikipaedia is an encyclopaedia and not a tabloid. However, the encyclopaedia is contained within the article namespace. Is there any reason for namespaces other than the main (article) namespace and the image namespace to be indexed
The Wikipedia namespace should be indexed, so you can search for terms like "neutral point of view". It also contains pointers to tools. MediaWiki should probably be indexed. User talk is probably the only strong candidate for non indexing. The other talks are probably ok...there are times when you want to search them. User is probably ok.
