Are links created by templates nofollowed or followed? That is, someone creates a template like {{Brittanica|Edward VI}} or whatever. What's the follow treatment ?
The same as anything else: if the template creates a one-bracket link, it gets "nofollow"; if it creates a two-bracket link, it doesn't.
Yep. When trying to wrap my head around some of the more obscure template formatting issues, I've often found it helps to remember that, come parsing time, all templates are simply expanded into plain old wikitext on the page to be displayed.
