I have just finished cleaning up all the weird template entries on nlwiki in a
semi-automated way. Basically, what I did was:

1. Check Special:Wantedtemplates for worst offenders
2. Generate list of page IDs with bogus templatelinks using a toolserver query
3. Run RefreshLinks::fixArticleLinks() on each of those page IDs using eval.php
4. Rebuild Special:Wantedtemplates using updateSpecialPages.php
5. Go to step 1

When cleaning up this mess on other wikis, I should really generate a list of
all magic words and use that in step 2, it should be less labor-intensive that
way.

Anyway, all bogus templatelinks entries associated with this bug are now gone
on nlwiki. I'll keep an eye on this over the holidays and get back to this next
week. Next Wednesday, I will either:
A. find out that no new instances of this bug have popped up on nlwiki (which
means that whatever was causing them is now fixed), clean up the other wikis
using a script (which I'll have to write first), and call it a day
B. find out that new instances did appear, and investigate them, so I can find
out what causes them and fix it
