I think it would be best if fellow SO users stopped linking to it via comments.

If I understand correctly, your reasoning is similar to one that justified LMGTFY and WHYT bans:

• Ban LMGTFY (let me google that for you) links
• "What have you tried" epidemic

Both bans were intended to stop massive misuse of references to particular (otherwise helpful) resources.

If you want something like that, consider providing data to verify that amount of misuse is sufficient to justify ban. As an example, WHYT ban request was supported by SEDE queries demonstrating the usage of problematic references.

Note, as opposed to fully general LMGTFY and WHYT references, the one you are talking about might turn out specific to particular tag(s) (html?), you might want to take this into account.

In particular, I think it would be reasonable to expect tag-specific ban request to be supported by data showing that

1. problematic references represent a substantial fraction of comments in target tag(s)
2. affected tag(s) in turn, represent a substantial (popular, active) fraction of Stack Overflow questions
