The template did create before, we had an update who stopped it without our wishes, we talked about restoring it that way, we never did due to coding issues. Please stop using an old behaviour as an argument. We are going forward and if there were no opposition to excessive linking before, now there is. Well, you were using policies long-forgotten, so I wanted to be press on the de facto policies and on the fact it was never decided to return to them.

And if I should stop doing that, you should stop seeing unexisting (confusion and redundancy) problems in links.

I would remove the link from the title for the same reason. To get an unified look. Now we link some but not all of them. Title is bigger and bolded font and I feel that the link somewhat gets buried in there. It's also a personal preference because I don't like the look of linked titles. Redundant linking is always harmful because we have to assume that the reader could want to check every link. The reader can read if it's a different link, because in the end it should be.

Plus, the linked titles are useful because they allow the user to navigate from a page to a page to its disambiguation easily.

The option where I could accept your view would be to consider the links in the bottom of the page as sufficient, but that would pose 2 problems:
 * We should delete all links existing in the aliases with links.
 * There would an inconsistency between the main names (titles, current alias, real name) without links and the aliases with links.

I think we should start from the beginning at that point instead of bickering on those details where we won't agree. We need something:
 * not confusing for the users (really confusing)
 * allowing an easy navigation for the users (meaning going from a page to its disambiguation page(s) with a click, less scrolling possible, etc.)
 * uniform in order to keep consistency
