[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki-l Digest, Vol 68, Issue 40

[Brian Vaughan]

Thanks for the response.  
Re title:  the page names are simple, e.g.:  'Conference_Center'.  So no special characters there.
Re meta:  No meta has been added to the page, and no index-related meta shows up in the page source.
Re robots.txt:  The server has no robots.txt.
But even if it WAS excluded by meta, wouldn't the google diagnostics page say so?  It would list it as Disallowed by robots, or disallowed by meta.  In my case, it just isn't showing up at all, as if it was never seen.
If I tell google to index that page specifically, it accepts it without giving a warning/error.  Add if I imediately look at the queue of documents to be indexed, it isn't there.

Offhand I'd suggest double-checking a couple things:

* Is there something suspect about the page titles/URLs?
(Long, special characters, etc)

* Are they being excluded by <meta robots> info in the HTML header?

* Are they being excluded by robots.txt?
