Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:NOINDEX/doc.

To discuss this template as a whole, please see JDOC:WTP. If you wish to discuss general wordings, rather than the wording or formatting of this specific template, don't post here, or else what you say will probably go unnoticed.

Usage

This template adds __NOINDEX__, which may remove the page from some search engines and automatically categorizes pages in Category:Noindexed pages. By default, it displays no content.

Parameters:

|visible = yes – makes the template display a line of plain text to inform editors that the page is excluded from search engine indexing:

This page has been removed from search engines' indexes.

Warnings

Note: to avoid unexpected results or unnecessary duplication, always wrap this template in:
<noinclude>...{{noindex}}..</noinclude> tags.

Make sure you are familiar with the different ways noindexing is done.

__NOINDEX__ is disabled in Category namespace and this template consequently has no effect there.

Note: major search engines should respect the NOINDEX tag, but it may take days or even weeks for content already indexed to be removed from them.
