Thanks for the pointer.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Wikipedia has the DPL extension installed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version).  Any other ideas would certainly be welcome.

Use DPL.
<DPL>
linksto=PAX9
notuses=Template:Transcription factors
</DPL>

Hello,
 
 
 
I'm trying I get the list of all pages that link to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAX9, but minus the pages that only link
through a commonly-transcluded template
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Transcription_factors).  For example
this query:
 
 
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=backlinks&bltitle=PAX9&bllimit=500&blnamespace=0
 
 
 
returns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53_%28protein%29 as the first entry,
but "[[PAX9]]" does not occur anywhere in this page's source, only as a link
from the transcluded template above.
 
 
 
Any suggestions on how to remove (or identify) backlinks which are resulting
from template transclusions?
 
 
 
Thanks,
 
-andrew

As far as I am aware this is not possible.
