Is Wikipedia forced dofollow?

We all know that Wikipedia puts a nofollow on all of their outgoing links. There is no way around it - if you put your link up on Wikipedia, it will be nofollowed. The thing about these Wikipedia links, however, is that they seem to pass a definite amount of link juice.

There is no such thing as a "dofollow".

There's a "nofollow" attribute, and links without said attribute.

@Ian

I thought we decided to refer to them as "nofollow" and "followed" - like you, I have no idea why we need a third term "dofollowed". Although none of that's as bad as the references I've seen to "not no-followed" (surely not!) :)
