            Bug ID: 43509
           Summary: Special:Whatlinkshere pagination broken
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.21-git
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Special pages
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

The (prev) links rely on having a &back= id from which they can be filled. This
works neatly if you want to go back one level, but try and go back two in a row
and the whole thing falls apart.

For example:, take
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Abacus . Now
go forward (next) two times, and then back twice. In fact, you get trapped on
page 2, because now there's no &back= id to use in the generation of a (prev)
link. 

WLH should probably copy other special pages and do "(prev)" using a dir=prev
parameter.
