Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2014-06-04 23:36:29 UTC
This is hard to fix. Blacklisted annotation types are done on a per-node-type basis. Normal references are of type 'mwReference', but citations are of type 'mwTransclusionInline', and I don't think it's a good idea to make all templates unlinkable.
Comment 2 Roan Kattouw 2014-06-04 23:36:55 UTC
For templates we may need to have some kind of function that dynamically determines whether the template is linkable :(
