I agree entirely with Carcharoth, and have been having the same thoughts for
the past year. It's not even possible to momentarily delete an article from
a template in order to see what other articles actually link to it, because
the "what links here" can take days to update fully. It'd be really helpful
if a solution could be found.

Basically, what matters here is readability and

And knowing how many links are from within templates and how many from
within the actual text of an article is not useful? "What links here"
is a useful tool for editors that has become useless because of the
use of such templates. This has been known for a long time, and
sometimes technical people say that something can be done, but rarely
does something actually get done.
