I COMPLETELY disagree with this. Let the robots crawl everything. It's better that someone finds one of our Talk or User pages and cruises on over to our main site than to simply find a completely website!
I think search robots should be stopped from indexing the editing pages. Google has already indexed this URL http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Help&action=edit and I don't see the point in that. Look here for a list, http://www.google.com/search?q=+site:www.wikipedia.com+editing+wikipedia
This can be stopped by inserting this in the HTML <head>: <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
