            Bug ID: 45237
           Summary: LinkSearch uses numeric offset paging instead of
                    paging by last entry returned
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.21-git
          Hardware: All
               URL: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special
                    :LinkSearch&limit=500&offset=5000&target=http%3A%2F%2F

                OS: All

I noticed today, that paging on special:linksearch uses a numeric offset. For
example:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&limit=500&offset=5000&target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wga.hu%2Fart%2F

For efficiency reasons it should probably use an offset of the last entry
displayed on the page. (For example:
offset=http://www.wga.hu/art/c/crespi/daniele/pieta.jpg or something)

Note: I say this without looking how it is implemented/the db queries. So I may
be misunderstanding the issues involved.
