Re 1) It is turned on by default, and I welcome that, since it prevents
wikis to be automatically "link farms" for generating search engine
ranking.
Re 2) Turning this off should be an easy option mentioned in
sample-config.php.
Re 3) I agree. If url approval is installed rel='nofollow' should be
turned off inside config.php. Urlapprove.php should carry a notice to
this effect.
Best,
