Hi Giovanni, Thank you for your message :) You are correct in that there is no information on page-to-page link as of today, as well as no information for instance on historical values of revisions being redirects for instance. We share with you the idea that such information is extremely valuable, and we have in mind to be able to extract it at some point. The reason for which it has not yet been done is because those pieces of information are only available through parsing the wikitext of every revision, which is not only resource intensive but also complicated technically (templates, version changes etc). You can be sure we will send another announcement when we'll release that data :) Best,
