Until recently, [[Yankee Stadium]] housed the article about the ballpark that
opened in 1923. Now it's been changed to house the article about the ballpark
that opened in 2009. There are still hundreds of articles that link to [[Yankee
Stadium]] that intend to link to the old ballpark. I would like to help direct
them to [[Yankee Stadium (1923)]] instead. This can't be scripted, because it
requires human judgment of which ballpark is being referred to.

To get a list of articles to manually update, I went to the What Links Here
page for [[Yankee Stadium]]. Unfortunately, it's filled with false positives
(at least for my purposes) that only link there via a template. One example is
[[Babe Ruth]].

Therefore, I would like a list of articles that link to [[Yankee Stadium]]
directly, not via templates.
