- Disable history and special pages for most users bill_tech OP — 4/28/25, 8:40 AM Hello, I have bots visiting my site that are ignoring my robots.txt and hence are crawling every link on my site, including all the "view history" links etc. This activity is over-loading my site.

We have our MediaWiki installed in /var/www/mediawiki with all files in the root.
