Have I missed that one? I've seen several people suggest that nofollow should be enabled elsewhere on enwiki, but the idea of using it in the main namespace seems to be controversial at best.
FWIW, I tend to agree. Enable it, yes, but only outside NS_MAIN.
I concur - haven't seen concensus for enabling it in the main namespace. Haven't seen any argument against enabling it in the user, user:talk etc namespaces, though.
Okay, this is a request for the devs. Can one of you please apply the patch at http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5523 and enable rel="nofollow" outside NS_MAIN?
We can then, having solved the uncontroversial part of the problem, continue debating the merits of nofollow in the main namespace at leisure.
