::There are {{w|Streisand effect}} problems with putting one's wiki in a category like this, but I guess some wiki owners might not realize that. Telling the world "I don't want people looking at my wiki" is a sure way to get a lot of people looking at your wiki. With respect to the Internet Archive, if you don't set your robots.txt right the first time, they'll still let you remove yourself from their archive later.

: {{support}} with some reservations, i.e., the way the category works is at the top of the listing page? But that is contradictory. Would the page be deleted? If so, the opt out would not be visible to users who may then create the page. Would the URL be retained? I just don't know that this has been thought through all the way. Maybe. But it isn't obvious. What I'm supporting is the right of privacy of users and wikis. There is then the problem of determining if a request has come from the actual wiki owner or person. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 18:50, 14 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
