It could be possible to only count real links and not template links by doing this: *List all the links from "What links here" from "Example_article" *Enter to the ones that are in the Template: mainspace *Count the number of links in "What links here" in each template *Then number of real links = total links - links from templates
Maybe someone could code something like that. Also the program should check add all the "what links here" from each template in a list, and delete repeated articles (because one article may have two templates both linking at other article) On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 10:34 PM, Tim Starling <[email protected]> wrote: > On 07/02/11 10:56, Carcharoth wrote: >> On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 10:19 PM, Magnus Manske >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Many of these links are due to templates, which I can do little about. >> >> Can *anyone*, even in principle, do something about that?
