Ah, OK. I see. That essay should be userfied then, and I need to retract what I said on his talk page. The point made on the talk page here, though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Overlink_crisis#Implications_for_.27What_links_here.3F.27 ...is exactly the point I've made in the past. Large navboxes transcluded over many articles swamps 'what links here'. I did see the parallel discussion on wikitech-l when David Gerard raised this subject there, and am hoping that something is done about it when someone finds the time. :-) Carcharoth _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
