Would anyone object if I just deleted this functionality, so people could use templates like for everything else? Or would that be a little too drastic? As a historical thing, this stuff was introduced well before templates, I believe, and was subsequently obsoleted by them.
While esoteric this feature is very nice and saves lots of work for users. Removing it makes no sense and will just generate more edits due to bots and people having to add such templates\links manually. At the very most introduce a global variable that disables this, however that seams too much effort for such a insignificant feature.
