Here's an interesting question. Is there any way for Special:WhatLinksHere to distinguish between links from a template rather than links from the actual article text? I presume at present it all just goes into a links table generated on save, and can't be distinguished ...

Many of these links are due to templates, which I can do little about.

Can *anyone*, even in principle, do something about that? It really bugs me that the "what links here" function doesn't distinguish between links arising from templates (often not directly relevant) and links directly from the article wiki-text. If the answer is something to do with parsers, please do explain!
