Have a look at [[Template:Protected Areas of Massachusetts]], for
example. This nearly doubled in size early in 2011, with a couple of
hundred red links added.
What we have here is "quadratic": if it is assumed all those redlinks
are articles that will get added (there may be no reason why not), and
that this footer is added to all those articles, the linkage created
grows as the square of the number of links. So a footer with a 1001
links implies a million wikilinks.
It would be sensible to have a guideline that says "break down footers
that have many links", to reduce the effect.
