The current implementation of the terms and conditions gate #1157 replaces the entire page with the gate, instead of creating an overlay or popup.
While this has advantages over the standard JavaScript popup (no delay before it appears on slow connections, works for users without JS enabled) it will probably block good-faith bots like search engine crawlers and archivers (e.g. web.archive.org) from discovering any content.
The new implementation should be similar, except instead of blocking the regular page from being created, a modal should be rendered over the top with the content behind blurred out.
