 If a page is not meant to be public then the expectation would be that
 robots would be instructed not to index the page, and not to follow links.

 However, the `wp_no_robots()` function instructs robots to follow links
 within the page (it uses `follow` instead of `nofollow`):

 Is this intentional or a typo?
