Are we not risking throwing the baby out with the
bathwater, here?
whatlinkshere is a useful tool, but so are large templates - limiting
the latter to benefit the former seems a bit of a zero-sum game.
Indeed. If a tool turns out inadequate, we should aim to fix the tool
rather than hamper the content to make the tool's life easier. That
template's a *monster*, but it's an interesting exercise in new ways
of presenting WIkipedia content, and is quite usable for the reader.
