Why Scratch Wiki doesn't appear on search results on Google?

Only the Fandom one does. The SW was intentionally made not to show up, although in the visual editor > page settings, you can change the ‘showing up in search engines’ to ‘always’. Do not do this on pages other than your userpage, really, or maybe not even that. It was set as this for a reason.

This is misinformation. We accidentally blocked the Google crawler while combatting spam. Our absence from search results was a mistake. We think we have unblocked it, and Scratch Wiki results should be showing up again (they are for me, at least). The per-page indexing settings are irrelevant and shouldn't be used.

Oh, really? I thought it was on purpose. I guess I'm wrong.
