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 has caused much elaborate conspiracy theory in the past
revolving around nofollow and "favoured" Wikia links, etc)
