there is a template you can use to tell people when wikification is not needed, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikify/wikified_wrongly (its for [[WP:WWF]] members, but that doesn't mean you can't use it).

That seems like extra procedure for no good reason. What on earth is wrong with just removing the {{wikify}} tag when it's not needed? It's a fairly subjective editorial judgement.
