Manual:Noindex
Noindex can be used to prevent indexing of a page by search engines.
Using Wikitext
editTo change the index preferences for specific pages, use one of these magic words:

__NOINDEX__

$wgOut->setRobotPolicy('noindex,nofollow');
Or, if one wished to be more selective:
$wgOut->setIndexPolicy('noindex');
