Indexing user pages
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you have modified your user page so as to be indexed by external search engines.

I have removed indexing of this page, because there is no apparent reason for the page to be indexed at this time, and user space is "noindexed" by default.

Pages in user space are not a personal homepage. Their purpose is to help editors collaborate in building Wikipedia. If you believe that indexing of this page would serve such a purpose, please leave a note here and we can discuss it. You may continue to edit the page, but please do not restore indexing without discussion. Thank you. Noyster (talk),  19:40, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Oh thank you. But what difference does it make if my Userpage is indexed by search engines? PinkSnowfall (talk) 07:40, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * As stated, user pages are intended as an aid to collaboration among Wikipedia editors. How does it help Wikipedia to have your present user page more easily findable on the internet? May I point out that user pages with content "not closely related to Wikipedia's goals" may be liable for deletion. I'd much prefer it if you focused on developing editing skills: there are plenty of help pages available, the Tutorial and the Wikipedia Adventure are interactive learning tools you could try, and the Teahouse is there for newer editors to ask for specific assistance Noyster (talk),  09:23, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Oh great. Thank you for the resources. PinkSnowfall (talk) 12:54, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Following your threat to remove my user page, I have made my user page more 'useful'. PinkSnowfall (talk) 13:09, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
