TryUser-agent: *
Disallow: /index.php
Disallow: /skins/
Disallow: /Special:Search

Some other good rules to include are
Disallow: /MediaWiki:
Disallow: /Template:
and maybe
Disallow: /Category:

Haha true about rotting RAM, I'll look into

web-root /. However, through an apache alias, my url is
mywiki.com/Pagename.
How would robots.txt look for that? Would I simply drop the preceeding
/wiki, like this?

Thanks a ton!
