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.

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&bltitl... X9&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?

As far as I am aware this is not possible.
