https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63501 --- Comment #2 from Makyen --- This appears to be a duplicate of https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23455 There is a template available which appears to be a workaround for this problem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Listref I would disagree that the back-links are useless. I use them regularly when working on fixing references, or checking on reference validity. However, I do agree that they could be much more useful than they are currently and that a huge number of back-links is impractical. Perhaps a solution would be to move the back-links to the end of the reference (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31910), or into tooltips? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

To me, it'd be better to let the browser's facility for going back to the previous page handle this and just display a single clickable ^ symbol -- that'd likely require changes elsewhere to make this facility available to Mediawiki extensions, though (it's been a long time since I looked at internals re this and I've forgotten), and it might raise security issues (though I can't think of any offhand). Personally, I never try to figure out which backlink to click -- I use the browser's "back" button. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
