Prevent transclusion of MediaWiki module documentation?

I have a MediaWiki installation, with a number of Lua modules installed in the 'Module:' namespace. Many of these modules are borrowed from Wikipedia, and they each apparently transclude a documentation page that I don't have and don't want. For example, the following appears at the top of each module page:

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Math/doc

The "Module:Math/doc" portion is a broken wikilink. How can I remove the code that is generating this banner and therefore remove these module doc pages from the "Wanted pages" list?

You can edit the messages using the following pages in the MediaWiki namespace:

scribunto-doc-page-name
scribunto-doc-page-does-not-exist
scribunto-doc-page-show
scribunto-doc-page-header

If the red link is annoying you, I suggest you set scribunto-doc-page-name to eg Project:Lua modules or some other page, where you can put some general documentation (default is Module:$1/doc, where $1 is the name of the module).

Note that it is not possible to add categories, links or any other wiki code to module pages. The doc-page is therefore the only built in way you have to keep track of your modules -- that's why it's there,
