Hallo!

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests#MediaWiki_talk:Sidebar_de
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gangleri/tests#MediaWiki_talk:Sidebar_de

are using external link type references to
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Sidebar/de

Neither
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/MediaWiki_talk:Sidebar/de
nor
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchangeslinked/MediaWiki_talk:Sidebar/de
are listing these pages.

References are used frequently with "oldid=nnnn"; "action=purge" etc.

*request*
It might be a good idea to list references with external type links in
[[Special:Whatlinkshere/foo]] and [[Special:Recentchangeslinked/foo]].

*reason*
The 'Special:Whatlinkshere' displays at the moment "No pages link to here." This
is not 100% correct.

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

This might now be possible with the external links table, although still
potentially a bit messy.

Phil Boswell just reminded me, of course, that we have Special:Linksearch, which
can be used to obtain this information for a specific page.
