@Andrei_Stroe The discussion has been open for less than a week. Per policy at least 1 week is usually allowed for discussion. If/when consensus develops I will create the patch. Also, the discussion seems to only propose enabling ''noindex'' for the "user" namespace but "User talk" is requested to have noindex enabled as well. Separate consensus should be developed for the User talk namespace.

Seems quite obvious to me that, if they want to change a namespace's robot policy, this can be applied to its talk ns :)

I was probably going implement it in the patch anyways to keep with current practice. Just brought it up since somebody brought it up in the discussion.
