How do I stop "What links here" from expanding templates?

For instance:

Page A -> Template:T -> Page B

When I do a "What links here" for Page B, it says Page A references it. It doesn't. Template T does.

Where this blows up in our wiki is we use templates to provide topical indices (links to many pages on a specific topic), which we reference at the bottom of pages. When you do a "What links here" on a page mentioned in one of those templates, you get a bazillion pages, nearly all of which don't refer to this page directly, so tracing back-links becomes totally impractical.

We're back on MediaWiki 1.9.3, but I'm prepared to upgrade if needed to solve this.

Thanks,

Randall
