  4. Click Save button.

How to view your wiki robots.txt?

Mine says this:
# Settings file for search engine crawlers
# Example:
# User-agent: *
# Disallow: /*
# Allow: /sitemap.zhtml
User-agent: *
Disallow: /*

And at the top of the "article", it says this configuration will allow robots. Seems contrary to the Robots file page above.
