Where do you suggest we use nofollow?

[jean-gui_]: by default, wordpress adds nofollow to all links in comments

[jean-gui_]: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-nofollow-post/ plugin to add nofollow on links in posts

WP natively lets you add nofollow for comments.
We want to add nofollow for posts and pages.
However, for main CG blog, no nofollow for pages.
Jean-Gui is looking at plugin; but need multi-site support (or JG needs to set up per-blog and update for existing blogs)
Review domains to exclude from plugin config

Check for both WP and wiki.
Jean-Gui thinks the default is "nofollow" for both; will confirm

Currently, Wordpress template adds a meta nofollow on all pages. The plugin listed in a previous comment would be more useful.

Mediawiki already adds nofollow to all external links.

Actually, the plugin was already installed and configure. I removed nofollow from the header.

The mass configuration update script now takes care of this plugin's configuration as well
