Notice how the edit links in the sample boxes on the page in question are displayed with the external-link "arrow" icon when in fact those are clearly internal links. This appears to also be present on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:V , which is included by the template in question.
All 'internal' links made with the external link syntax are rendered as external links, unless the wiki has added a class to its [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] that can be used to hide it ('plainlinks' on en.wikipedia and elsewhere). While I agree that links that point within the site should be rendered in the same way as interwiki links, en.wikipedia has rejected this idea due to what I can only describe as collaborative mass idiocy, so don't expect any change.
Okay, I'll bring up the issue on the template's talkpage then. Perhaps a template guru can fix it to use internal linking. I just was unsure where the bug lied. Sorry for the inconvenience.
