+ * Add $wgNoFollowLinks option to add rel="nofollow" on external links + (on by default)
How will I be able to turn off rel="nofollow" just for a single specific link?

You can't, presently. You can turn it off site-wide if you believe it will cause the downfall of the free Internet.
If desired, you could add some sort of whitelist feature (which would have to be protected against spamming itself), or you could use interwiki links instead.

Internet (and search engines) is based on links. any attempt to discourage linking is against the nature of the Internet.
The solution to spamming is human monitoring and blacklists, not discouraging linking.
With this attribute, Wikipedia and all MediaWiki-based wikis will become useless to search engines.
You could use a Bayesian filter instead, it's much better and does great work.

Stop trolling honestly.
There is nothing that discourage linking, it just discourage spam. Feel free to code a Bayesian filter for MediaWiki and submit a patch on http://bugzilla.mediawiki.org/

What made to believe that I am trolling? I don't think your description is accurate.

You should contact the Drupal Team and ask to incorporate their Bayesian Filter (under construction). http://www.drupal.org
