Ticket #35819, comment 1
initial v1 3 3 At a group-member level, in particular for allow and disallow directives, '''the most specific rule based on the length of the [path] entry will trump the less specific (shorter) rule'''. The order of precedence for rules with wildcards is undefined. 4 4 5 Therefore `Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php` will trump `Disallow: /wp-admin/` 5 Therefore `Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php` will trump `Disallow: /wp-admin/` no matter which order they are listed 6 6 7 7 Personally, before making any changes I would also like to see other evidence which corroborates the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard#Allow_directive Wikipedia article]'s assertion that `by standard implementation the first matching robots.txt pattern always wins`. There is no citation on that claim and I'd love to see something more concrete than one editor's choice of phrasing.
