Reframing, image inclusion
Wikicars has limited server resources and we'd like to use them to support the creation of content.
For this reason, we ask that individuals or organizations wishing to re-distribute Wikicars content do not serve images from Wikicars for inclusion in their own pages, nor put Wikicars pages into framesets.
Spiders
Spiders, bots, and scripts that read wikicars.org must obey the following rules. This includes "mass downloaders" like wget or HTTrack. IP addresses for programs that ignore these rules will be blocked at the TCP/IP level.
- Read-only scripts must read the robots.txt file for Wikicars and follow its suggestions. Most programs (like wget) automatically know about robots.txt, as do major scripting languages' HTTP client libraries. But if you're writing your own program, check the Standard for Robot Exclusion for more info.
- Read-only scripts should recognize the non-standard Crawl-Delay field in robots.txt. If not, they must not fetch pages or images more often than once every 30 seconds.
- Read-only scripts must have a User-Agent header set. Scripts should provide a contact email or URL in the header. For example:
- ExampleBot/0.1 (http://www.example.com/bot.html)
- MyBot/2.3 (mybot@example.net)
