Documentation and comment add nofollow for all links.

It's all right for external link... but why using that for internal link?

Specially because old pages of documentation have habitually a link to the new one. It will help Google to prioritize the more up to date and relevant documentation pages or forum post.

Nobody want to change that? I think it's a very important SEO feature that will make this website more searchable from external search engine.

I believe that this is a limitation of the core Drupal "no follow" filter: it doesn't check whether a link goes back to the same domain. Ideally it would (and remove the domain part, ie convert the link to a local link).

drupal.no_nofollow_for_internal_links_1114988_4.patch1.51 KB

Here a patch. I guess we need a patch for D8 but please check if the logic is ok for you...

Mainly I didn't provide an option to add nofollow for internal link. Because I think It's a bad practice and I didn't see any use case for that.

This is a good chance to improve SEO for a lot of drupal website with this simple patch. First in line drupal.org...
