I think that a more nuanced approach is required here. First it should be optional, particularly in a wiki secured as I outlined earlier this week. In the wiki I help maintain, many of the external links relate to the whole purpose of the wiki. Allowing Google and other search engines to record these links improves the body of work. Secondly, where is is turned on, perhaps there should be a plugin that allows the flag to be turned off on a link by link basis. Obviously this will require that the plugin is secured against abuse... regards, Charles |
