Description

Form pages like /issues/new are not worth to be indexed by search engines. And moreover it is sometimes confusing for visitors from search engine. When you have a question about redmine and you search about it, what can you do if /issues/new appears?

It happens when these form pages are opened for anonymous user. It actually happened at redmine.ruby-lang.org once. So I wrote the attached patch. This patch adds a meta element as follows in some pages:

<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,FOLLOW,NOARCHIVE" />
