Apparently "which see" is used as a literal translation of the Latin "quod
vide". In the places that I found it used as in the wget documentation, the
phrase was always surrounded with parentheses so the appropriate usage
appears to be:
... waiting interval specified by this function is influenced by
-...@code{--random-wait} (which see).
For what it's worth, "-...@code{--random-wait} (q.v.)" is equally correct.
At any rate, I contend that "which see" is confusing and recommend that
something less confusing be used in its place.
