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 ?

My understanding is that anything which goes to a URL
- a "one-bracket
link" - gets treated as an external link and is nofollowed, regardless
of where it goes; anything created as a wikimarkup link, *including*
interwiki links, is treated as internal and escapes.
This is correct.
(This has caused much elaborate conspiracy theory in
the past
revolving around nofollow and "favoured" Wikia links, etc)
As is this.
