User:B/Analysis of uses of nobots

This is an analysis of the uses of nobots. This list gives (what I think is) every bots or nobots template found on any page that contains nobots. A few of these are wrong (two templates that my regex screwed up and misidentified as one template). But most of these give an idea of what people are using. If there are under 10 pages that use a particular template, I list them. If there are over 10, I list the fist 10.

Use of parameters to nobots
These are examples of meaningful parameters to nobots that we should consider.

Use of nobots AND bots on the same page
(Anything in this list uses nobots, or at least transcludes it indirectly. Unless the two templates were consecutive with no spaces in between, I'm only listing the bots template, but these all use both templates.

I'd be kind curious to ask what these users intend. Is it that you're trying to block bots that know about bots but not nobots? Something else?

Nobots transcluded, but not directly on page
These pages purport to have nobots transcluded, but my regex did not find it. Most of these seem to be coming via the deceased Wikipedian template.

IMPORTANT NOTE: most bots probably do NOT obey indirect transclusions of the template. We are using regex to look for the template in a page we edit and if it's not right on the page, we will not see it.
