Forum:Remove "no follow" from an external link

As I read here, external links on wikis are, by default, using  (read this for more informations). Now, is there a way to remove the nofollow from a single link? I know it can be removed by all links, but I'm looking for a simpler way, like a template o a custom class. Thank you.


 * I don't think that's possible. It's not possible to set/reset "nofollow" via CSS, as far as I know. I've read that this is possible via JavaScript, but only if the link itself is created with JavaScript. But I'm not really good with JS, so I'm not sure about that. -- Weas-El ✉  23:07, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * It looks a bit contradictory to me that information from mediawiki. I think staff is needed to give a bit of a clearance on this subject wether or not the mediawiki file in place actually does act like this.
 * I therefor have added a staff needed category here.
 * Not a big issue (it is mainly about page ranking, so not that important), but nice to know about anyways.

 * Lord Angel, i do think that it is the objective to have a single weblink to be followed, indexed and adding to a website it's page ranking and that is not done by adding a no follow link to all weblinks. At least, in my opinion that is not the way to go.

 * Not sure why the Staff Needed tag was added, but I will endorse WikiPim's statement. It's not good practice to apply it wiki wide. You could use page specific CSS if you really did want just one or two pages to be "follow" links - . --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog) 02:11, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
