Help:What links here

Jump to: navigation, search

Every page has a link labelled "What links here" (or, more generally, labelled with the text in mediawiki:whatlinkshere), also called backlink. doors.txt;10;15

The need for specificity is nearly completely met by regular practice and training within the sport not in the strength and conditioning environment. ,

Comparison with Query#backlinks and Query#embeddedin:

Compare Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:T with http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/query.php?what=backlinks|embeddedin&titles=template:t&bllimit=500&eilimit=500&blfilter=all&eifilter=all

Differences demonstrated:

  • Query sorts by function first (backlinks and inclusions), then by page id, "what links here" sorts by page id.
  • Query distinguishes between B being only included in A, and B also being linked from A.
  • Query does not indicate which backlinks are redirects, and does not include their backlinks.
  • Query provides page ids.

Another difference:

  • Query allows restriction to a specified namespace.

In-page list of backlinks

With the extension Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) links are categorized by specifying relations. For a given relation the backlinks of a page can be produced in-page. A series of queries, one for each relation (which seems cumbersome but can be put in a template like [1]), provides an in-page list of backlinks sorted by relation. Moreover, forward links and attributes of the resulting pages can also be provided, and also backlinks of backlinks.
