We could introduce new syntax for this, such as &nope; or even &nowiki;.

Or how about {{}} for "this is a syntactic element, but it does nothing"? But if
that is mixed in with template expansion, it won't work if it expands to
nothing, since template expansion happens before link parsing, right? For better
or worse...
