 tag as you have proposed.

 Well actually not. Duplicate indexing is handeled pretty well by search
 engines, that's part of their job. I think you're relying to some SEO Myth
 and not knowing what duplicate content really is about.

 So please step back with the SEO discussion which in detail is subject to
 change and short-term and concentrate on providing correct links.

 This ticket was about removing the nofollow attribute as it was
 inappropriate. This issue has been addressed and already fixed.

 If you have got an additional issue, please open a new ticket and leave
 the new ticket id here.

 I will close this ticket again as the issue for what it has been
 originally reported has been fixed. You can copy over your recent comments
 to the new ticket, it's not a problem to have some duplicate content in
 tickets over here ;).
