That hides/shows: 1) redirects pointing at Marie Curie 2) pages onto which Marie Curie is trancluded (none, which is as it should be) 3) page with links pointing at Marie Curie The transclusions option is more to help people who work with templates. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Nobel_Prize_in_Chemistry_Laureates_1901-1925&hideredirs=1&hidelinks=1 Some templates are widely linked and talked about, so hiding the links helps identify which pages are utilising the template. So, no, it doesn't do what I'm after, and Charlotte, yes, I *am* serious about this. I have a wishlist of other things as well, which I'll no doubt mention at some point. Between, here, the Village Pump and Bugzilla (when I get round to registering an account there), maybe some things will get done (yes, I know there are lots of requests, but it is annoying to raise things and see nothing get done - for years on end). One for now (rather involved) is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_49#Link_maintenance "Link maintenance" - a bit of a bugbear of mine since I failed to realise for four months that a nice list article I was looking after had one of its blue links turn into a redirect (which still looked blue to me). You just don't *see* that on the watchlist or when looking at the article. You only find that out if you click on the link, or spot it in a mass of noise in "related changes". Carcharoth PS. Some replies I compose are now going to individuals as well as the list - is that the individuals setting the reply-to thingy, or has something broken at my end? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
