If you follow the Edit tab on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Brazil/DF you will get a link
right at the bottom of the page called Templates used on this page. If you
expand the list you will see a link to Template:Pt-br:place, which is where
the links are. You can edit this template to get rid of the dead links.

One disadvantage of having specialised templates is that updates to the
Template:Place template are often not propagated and, although I recently
removed OpenStreetBugs from Template:Pt-br:place other links that are no
longer useful remain. There is a proposal at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Moresby/Description to replace
multiple language versions of the KeyDescription and ValueDescription
templates, which have similar problems, with a single set of templates for
all languages; it may be worthwhile doing something similar with the Place
template.
