The recipe can do:

    $HTMLStylesFmt['pagetemplates'] = 
      ' .noquest a.createlink { display:none; } ';

With the above you don't have to style the specific tag.
The markup 

    %noquest% GroupB.NonExistentPage

will be turned into the following html (newlines and '...' added for
clarity):

    <span class='noquest'>
      <a class='createlinktext' href='...'>GroupB.NonExistentPage</a>
      <a class='createlink' href='...'>?</a>
    </span>

So, the CSS entry

    .noquest a.createlink { display:none; }

says to not display any <a> element having a class of "createlink"
(i.e., the '?') that appears inside of any other element having a
class of "noquest".  Thus the question mark isn't displayed.
