Shouldn't let any Thread to be indexed when __NOINDEX__ is added to the introduction (header) of a page
Open, LowestPublic

Description

Currently, even if a user add __NOINDEX__ to its talkpage, all threads created on it are *still indexed* by search engines, since the extension creates each commont in a different page (where the user can only add the magic word *after* the topic was created). The same happens for other pages (not only user talk pages).

For privacy reasons, this shouldn't happen. Specifically, the users should *not* be requested to add __NOINDEX__ to zillions of comments in order to get all of them not being indexed.

LiquidThreads has been replaced by StructuredDiscussions on all Wikimedia production wikis (except one, which will be done soon). It is no longer under active development or maintenance, so I'm re-classifying all open LQT tasks as "Lowest" priority.
