In September 2013, you removed one of my wikis, NSindex, because it "should not be publicised according to the webmaster". It was actually true back then because it was unfinished, but since then it is now workable because it has its own domain name. How do I make it publicisable now, while keeping out the bad robots (e.g. SEO)? Thanks in advance. :-)

Well, never seen a finished wiki yet. Perhaps this one will be the first but I doubt it. An own domain is a good starting point though. To my experience it takes a some time to get visible in the internet. Good content is the best one can do. To additionally help this you will probably like to have a look at this category (you will need to dig into meta tags for this) if you want to improve things on wiki. This setting $wgAllowMicrodataAttributes (you will need to dig into microdata for this) may be of interest too as well as this script GenerateSitemap.php (then you can register your sitemap e.g. with Google. A good robots.txt is a must too though the bad thing about bad bots is that they do not care about this. :( Still it's worth the effort for good bots. I wish you the best of success. Cheers

Hi, I did accidentally slip up over robots.txt in WikiApriary back in the days when we were beta and that was the same time when someone was stealing my friend's photos on Flickr, and I am sorry for that.

NSindex is a lot better now and my fury is now more towards Google over privacy. I probably want to manually maintain my website's entry, but I lost the account since I shut down the email associated with it! Oh well, it was a Google email anyway...

No worries. Luckily there are alternatives for e-mail around. I just re-activated data collection and if you like you could re-register and fluff up the entry a bit. Cheers

Thanks: if WikiApiary accidentally hits another filter then please get in touch with me over the filter that's causing the problem and I will override it. I am planning to work on a spider trap for bad crawlers like what Wikipedia does, but this is nothing to do with you.
