Yes, it's possible. It was necessary to register links from templates in the pagelinks table so that when a page is deleted or created, the HTML caches can be updated so that the link colour will change. With a schema change and some parser work, it would be possible to flag such links so that they are optional in "what links here". -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
