Now my question, I know that splinting an article and not linking
them is bad. But, I also don't like the case where a whole section of
an article consists only of an instance of the {{mainarticle}} template

{{main}} is best used with a summary, like this:
==Legal action==
{{main|Legal cases against Coca Cola}}
