Could you do a version of this where the tool also lists the number of
links from Template namespace? This is namespace 10, as opposed to
namespace 0 (articles). And then allow an option (sorting or
eliminating) to only look at "wanted" articles with no links from
template namespace?

For example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=British+films+of+2011&namespace=10

That is 'British films of 2011', with 2 entries in templates.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Richard+Kruse&namespace=10

But Richard Kruse is not linked from templates, and the links appear
to be mostly from lists.
