Visibility levels
- Private: access requires an authorized capability or account context.
- Unlisted: share the intended capability link; the work is not treated as a public promotional page.
- Public: the canonical work can be opened without a token.
- Indexable: a separate Public-only choice that allows the work to enter search discovery after the required gates pass.
Why Public and indexable are independent
A customer handoff, temporary report, internal example, or link shared in a small community may need tokenless reading without broad discovery. Separating the controls lets the author make that distinction intentionally.
Before enabling indexing
- Confirm that the current revision is useful without private context.
- Check sources, dates, media rights, personal data, and secrets.
- Set an owner and review cadence for information that can become stale.
- Use a canonical identity and do not create several near-duplicate pages for the same search task.
What indexing does not guarantee
Allowing indexing does not guarantee discovery, crawling, ranking, or traffic. Those outcomes remain unknown until a search source reports them.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is every Public OpenWiki document indexed by search engines?
No. Public controls tokenless reading. Search indexing is a separate opt-in that is available only when the publication clears its quality and maintenance gates.
Can a Private or Unlisted document be search-indexable?
No. Indexing is limited to Public publications; Private, Unlisted, candidate, and capability pages remain noindex.
