To combat spam, some days back Wikipedia started adding nofollow tags to all external links.

For those who don’t know , “nofollow” is a link attribute which tells a search engine that it should not follow the link, so the link will not get pageRank or any other benefit for being on wikipedia.

If you want to fight back, Ken Yasumoto-Nicolson developed a small WordPress plugin which adds rel=’nofollow’ to all outgoing links from your blog to Wikipedia.

I have installed the plugin, what about you ?

Here is a test link to Wikipedia.

You can download the plugin here.
