[http://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=validate&timestamp=20040810005530 Here's] an interesting piece of code developed by Magnus Manske some while ago. It's not used on [[Wikipedia]] but could be very useful for the [[Consumerium Process]]. It allows users to flag some article as validated on a number of issues ie. ''style, legal, completeness, facts, suitability for "final" release ([[Publish Wiki]] in our case)''
Thanks to [[User:TimStarling]] for pointing out this code. I queried him about Magnuses' code for custom meta-tags such as "no index" (or whatever it's called) because if we could easily and reliably control what gets indexed by search engines and what not we could do with a unified [[Research Wiki]] and [[Publish Wiki]] where articles flagged indexable would be considered "published" and those with "no index" to be still in research stage. Just a thought. Apparently Magnuses' code does not include tags for robots but according to Tim this would not be difficult to implement. The main problem being that once an article is indexed and then some seedy characters add questionable content how does one get Google etc. to stop indexing it. Apparently there is yet no way to remove pages from search engines on request.
