Duckduckgo searching for "Boinc config" produces:

"We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us."

Why?

You need to ask DuckDuckGo that.

Doing a search on DuckDuckGo using
Boinc config
without the quotation marks gives lots of results.

First result is a link to https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration
It has "We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us." instead of description.
Same happens with Bing and Yahoo.
Robots.txt looks like this:

Thanks kotenok. The question is why Boinc puts in a disallow for all those things. If everyone did that search engines would be almost useless.

The search engines are welcome to crawl all the public areas of the site but no site really wants things like the dev and test areas to be indexed and searchable.

Why is /wiki/ disallowed?

Most likely the default option and no one ever got around to changing it.

/wiki/ anyway is deprecated and was moved to GitHub wiki
