Yes, please. The To do sections some WikiProject templates have and
similar templates like {{Opentask}} result in huge amounts of
irrelevant links appearing in Whatlinkshere. For example, it is
practically impossible to find out what articles link to a requested
article listed on a WikiProject template, since the irrelevant links
completely overwhelm the relevant ones. Similarly, it is impossible to
advertise a [[WP:DPL]] disambiguation page that needs its incoming
links fixed on an opentask template, as this produces huge amounts of
irrelevant links. If we could filter the links by namespace, all these
problems would go away.
