We could introduce new syntax for this, such as &nope; or even &nowiki;.
Or how about {{}} for "this is a syntactic element, but it does nothing"? But if that is mixed in with template expansion, it won't work if it expands to nothing, since template expansion happens before link parsing, right? For better or worse...
