Our MediaWiki installation is auto-linking the word "files". So

Here are some files: a, b, c


would result in the word "files" being linked to ourhost/mediawiki/files.
Why is that happening and how do I make it stop? I can use the nowiki tag, but perhaps it does not surprise you that the word "files" appears often, and it is aggravating to use that tag all the time.

Here is some info on our MediaWiki installation from Special:Version. Yes, it's old.
