[Mediawiki-l] robots.txt

[Patricia Barden]

Hello all:

I was interested in this exchange since I've never really been  
absolutely sure how to do this:

Excluding index.php using robots.txt should work if an article link on
your page is http://mysite.tld/My_Page.

So, what do you do if  the wiki is in the root directory and not a  
subdir and you're using ugly URLs?

Thanks,
