That existing feature works by hiding/showing where *the page itself* is transcluded *into*. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:WikiFauna vs https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:WikiFauna&hidetrans=1 Making it work differently for incoming links that are coming from a template, is a long-standing (and complicated to implement) feature-request: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14396 However, I see this comment by Izno suggests a partial (manual) workaround, using an "insource:/\[\[FOO/" search. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14396#3246134 e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&profile=all&search=insource%3A%2F\[\[Wikipedia%3AWikiGremlin%2F&fulltext=1 versus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Wikipedia:WikiGremlin (I'm not sure why Izno's example also includes the "linksto:FOO" string, but it appears to be redundant) -- Quiddity _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
