This doesn't need a consensus this is already the policy. The Manual of Style clearly states that something should only be linked once on regular article, two or three on large ones. It seems pretty clear to me if you actually read more than the paragraph, or even half of it. While the first sentence might be misleading, I don't think that is the cause of the problem. Most overlinking is done by people who haven't read the Manual of Style at all, I know that's why I did it when I first started. If the first sentence really is that bad it can just be reworded.
