Description

Author: neubau

Description:
The article Google in the English Wikipedia ([[:en:Google]]) is currently linked
by at least 1200 pages within en.wikipedia.org alone. These include other
wikipedia articles, user talk pages, user discussion pages and many more.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&limit=500&offset=0&target=Google)

This bug entry is actually a plead for a sorting mechanism that puts these links
into order by namepaces and/or in alphabetical order.

It would be very helpful to have the option only to display links from NS 0 at
least.
