Noindexed pages

This is a maintenance category. It is used for the maintenance of Scratchpad and is not part of Scratchpad’s creative content. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference “Show hidden categories” is set.

This category tracks pages that have had the __NOINDEX__> behaviour switch added to them, so that they do not show up in web search engines such as Google. This category is added automatically by the MediaWiki software. The category name is defined in MediaWiki:Noindex-category (see commons:MediaWiki:Noindex-category for a switch based on namespace).
