Having been requested by Jimmy to do so, and having seen a fun rumor of a "search engine optimization world championship" contest targeting WP[1], I've gone ahead and switched rel="nofollow" back onto URLs in en.wikipedia.org's article namespace.

Quick question (since I haven't seen it addressed below) - is this temporary for the duration of the current optimisation contest, or indefinite?
