   Format: MarkdownItexWhen I use google to search for an nLab entry, it lately tells me, that the robot.txt forbids to give a description of the appropriate nLab entry. Is that on purpose? Why?

   Format: MarkdownItexI've gotten this as well, but sporadically. Certainly the robots.txt should not bar google from searching pages. But it does bar google from searching all the non-content pages (edit, new, ...). It could be that this is a side-effect of the issue we were finding with google trying to index links of the form `/new/existing+page`. If you can spot some sort of pattern I could investigate further.

   Format: MarkdownItexI spot this when Google gives me the `new` page. This is a phenomenon that has been discussed earlier and made us change how we handle hits to such pages.
