[Mediawiki-l] "What links here" - stop expanding templates

How do I stop "What links here" from expanding templates?
For instance:
Page A -> Template:T -> Page B
When I do a "What links here" for Page B, it says Page A references it. It
doesn't. Template T does.
Where this blows up in our wiki is we use templates to provide topical
indices (links to many pages on a specific topic), which we reference at
the bottom of pages. When you do a "What links here" on a page mentioned
in one of those templates, you get a bazillion pages, nearly all of which
don't refer to this page directly, so tracing back-links becomes totally
impractical.
We're back on MediaWiki 1.9.3, but I'm prepared to upgrade if needed to
solve this.
Thanks,
Randall
