Some types of lists can hyperinflate the numbers; a list of video games
might link [[Playstation]] 389 times (once for each Playstation game
listed). The behavior that people seem to expect is a count of _pages_
that link, rather than the raw number of links. I would tend to agree.
This can be switched by the simple addition of "DISTINCT" to a couple
SQL queries; is there any reason to retain the current behavior?

Is it possible to make this an option in the user
preferences? The default should be the new behaviour.
Sure, in theory, but I really don't see why anyone would _want_ the old
behavior. It gets reported as a _bug_ with some regularity... :)
