And Andrew wins. Stable versioning wont solve anything, nor will noindexing.
Part of being an encyclopedia means wanting people to use you, which (for
one on-line) means showing up in search engines.

Stable versioning has been imminent for a long time now. Perhaps when
it is operational indexing should only apply to stable versions.
That wouldn't really solve the problem at all - it's quite possible to
have a stable-but-crap article. "Stable" only really means "pretty
likely it doesn't say Joe is Gay anywhere"...
