:::hint{type="warning"}
When you use external links, we put a no-follow attribute on them; it's in Google guidelines for SEO. When you use internal links by using @ and linking a document, we don't add the no-follow to boost internal linking.

When it's an external link to your own site,, the no-follow does not matter because your documentation site will never give authority to your main site but the other way around.
