Warnings
To avoid unexpected results or unnecessary duplication, read Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing to make sure you are familiar with the different ways noindexing is done.

Do not use this template in articles. NOINDEX is disabled in the main article space; consequently, this template has no effect there.

Major search engines should respect the NOINDEX tag, but it may take days or even weeks for content already indexed to be removed from them.
