Why is my_view_page.php page not indexed?

When creating the page
my_view_page.php, the function
html_robots_noindex() is called, which prohibits robots from indexing the page by adding
Code: Select all
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
tag. What is the logic behind this restriction? We assume that anonymous logins are allowed.
Why it matters - This is the default page, and not indexing it will lower the SEO score.

Was introduced many years ago
https://mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=9991 I was not part of this discussion.
Maybe an explaianation, not sure if it makes complete sense:
The content of this page is pretty dynamic.
If I click a link to this page when searching the web, there is a big chance that my search term is no longer visible on this page.
That's why we want that the engine creates the index just for the content of the linked pages.

The content of this page is pretty dynamic.
In my humble opinion dynamic content is not content that changes quickly, but content that does not make sense to save, such as error messages, command results, interface forms, etc. Otherwise, content from news sites or social networks cannot be indexed either. Search engines have no problem indexing such sites, they just visit more often.
Perhaps
sitemap support should be made for MantisBT...
