What's the status on this anno 2010 ? Still three methods ?
I guess 3) makes the most sense. Then when saving an article it counts outgoing
links again (which it needs to do to update pagelinks anyway).
When changing templates, the job queue that updates caches within X minutes for
tranclusions (whatlinkshere) etc. could be fixed to update this count as well.
Anyway, keeping three different methods that are inconsistent which eachother
seems a bad thing no matter how we look at it.
