    Dave, I thought the same thing but then it was pointed out to me that a page has to be edited or reloaded for the nofollow tag to be applied. The SEMPO link takes you to another wiki page so that’s why that one’s followed. However, all the links on the following SEMPO page are no no follows.

    I’m sure links to wikia.com won’t be nofollow for long……

    It’s a caching layer on top of the wiki: http://blog.outer-court.com/forum/83585.html#id83597

    There is a way, but I’m not sure wikipedia links are really worth all that much anyway.

    I would not point a link to wikipedia when I can never be sure that the information I like to will always be the same.
