https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache was viewed 71 times over the last week. We should add templates to our robots.txt, so people don't land there accidentally.
Since we don't have a "directory" for templates, we'd need to list ever template in every language individually in robots.txt. Instead, let's add <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> to templates. http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html
Summary: Add templates to robot.txt → Add robots meta tag to templates
This template is becoming more and more popular with 230 visits over the last week (#198 top viewed article).

Will verify changes to robots.txt after the release
(In reply to Rebecca Billings from comment #4) > Will verify changes to robots.txt after the release This is actually in the <head /> of the page, so you can verify with just view source on a template article page (should contain `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">`). robots.txt will not list these.
Verified meta data includes robots & noindex on template articles
