--- Comment #29 from Nathan Larson <[email protected]> ---
Nemo, I suspect if we made that a checkbox in the installer, whatever we set
the default to (checked or unchecked), people would tend to leave it that way,
trusting the developers' judgment to set it to the optimal setting for most
wikis. However, I do think more people would change it than currently do, if
the option were presented in the installer.

With reference to criteria for putting options in the installer -- one could
also ask, Why do we have some of the stuff we do have in the installer, such as
checkboxes pertaining to upload and email settings? Anything could conceivably
be a setting people would be more likely to change from the default if we put
it in the installer. Maybe the solution is to implement the proposed
configuration database and web interface, and take system administrators there
after they finish the installation. That configuration interface could have all
the settings, so the nofollow setting would not be out of place there.

In other news, going through my old bugs I see that bug 42599 is now related to
this bug, now that its scope has been expanded.
