	Making a robots.txt file - Search Engine Robots
		For this reason, most robots (spiders/crawlers) abide by the 'Robots Exclusion Standard', a set of rules that constrains their behaviour.
		When search engine robots come to your site they look for a special file in the root of your server called robots.txt (this is a plain text file).
		There is another way to tell robots not to index a web page or follow links on it, which may be more helpful in some cases, as it can be used more conveniently on a page-by-page basis.

		If you think you have discovered a new robot (ie one that is not listed on the list of active robots, and it does more than sporadic visits, drop me a line so I can make a note of it for future reference.
		You can read the whole standard specification but the basic concept is simple: by writing a structured text file you can indicate to robots that certain parts of your server are off-limits to some or all robots.

		The standard is a method for developers of automated user-agents ("robots") and Web site administrators to determine what areas of a Web server, if any, are accessible to particular user-agents.
		The Robots Exclusion Standard specifies that a file, named robots.txt, should be placed at the root content directory for the Web server.
		By disabling the robots exclusion support, the user agrees to accept all resulting responsibilities and liabilities.

	Robots.txt - Meta
		The Robots Exclusion Standard allows advising web robots by means of the file {{SERVER}}/robots.txt, e.g for this project http://meta.wikimedia.org/robots.txt.
		In your robots.txt file, you would be wise to deny access to the script directory, hence diffs, old revisions, contribs lists, etc etc, which could severely raise the load on the server.
		Idea is that you deny a yourdomain.tld/trap/ directory to robots in robots.txt then write a small script that logs any IP that tries to access the /trap/ directory and adds that IP to the robots.txt in the previous folder.
