My first reading (and second and third) of this was that backlinks would be disabled entirely if I set numbacklinks=0, but now that I look again, I see the possibility that it is just controlling how many may be displayed before moving excess to a popup. If this is in fact how it is meant, I'll just get rid of the backlinks via the page template. Is this the case, that numbacklinks controls the popup, rather than backlinks in general?

+I notice that there is quite a bit of redundancy when both tags and
+backlinks are used extensively. On most pages, the set of links features in
+both categories is almost identical because a tag's index page is shown
+both as a tag link and as a backlink. Is there a way to improve that
+situation somehow? I realise that backlinks aren't generated when the tag
+index page refers to its contents by \[\[!map ...]], etc., but sometimes an
+auto-generated index is insufficient.
