Would this prevent mirror sites from 'scraping' noindex pages? This would be a definite improvement as talk pages are often a depository of libel and whilst we can remove and oversight material on wp pages we're powerless to do anything on a mirror
Why is libel tolerated on the talk pages in the first place? I don't see many people arguing for noindexing the project pages because of libel.
It's not tolerated as much as a) it often takes longer to notice and b) the removal of BLP violations from an article often results in a debate on the Talk pages in which the BLP violation is not only repeated but expanded.
