In the admin panel under switches. Look for "Google Pagerank"

Google PR doesn't work anymore, and has probably been removed in the latest WSN Links versions (I turned it off in the switches a couple of versions back)... Search for posts here about a month back when we were discussing this.

The content in displaylinks.tpl is just for forward compatability -- it's in the templates for 4.0, and since I was releasing a new template set for 3.3.17 I may as well have there be one less thing you have to do to upgrade your templates when the time comes. Pagerank used to be available but was removed because the website which had been providing it ceased to function. You can still find it on the validation page using a different site as a source. It will be back using a local php method to grab pagerank in 4.0. The fundamental problem will remain, however -- all methods of getting pagrank violate google's terms of service, so they may be shut down at google's whim. Google's legal API does not provide access to pagerank, and all other automated queries are illegal. If you want it now you can find javascript for it at checkpagerank.com that works for the moment.
