The automatic hyperlinking can be disabled when inappropriate by having
the word "symbol" in front of the actual symbol. Here's a version that
creates no hyperlinks, though it's a tiny bit strained:
"If non-nil, fill in the gaps in threads.
If set to the symbol `some', only fill in the gaps that are
needed to tie loose threads together. If the symbol `more', fill
in all leaf nodes that Gnus can find. If neither nil nor the
symbol `some', fill in all gaps that Gnus manages to guess."
