Now you have to get it past Brion.
As I posted above, Brion already closed this as WONTFIX: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8753 ...thereby ruining my chance to call myself a MediaWiki developer :)
Well, yeah. Note the logic in the WONTFIX: if the sites aren't trusted not to be spam links, take them out of the interwiki map.
Paying any attention to the complaints of SEOs and Googlemancers is approximately pointless. Perhaps we should ask them: "Please nofollow all your links to Wikipedia!" That would benefit the world by exploding their heads.
