'''Backlink''' is the generic {{tag|Terms|term}} for a {{tag|wiki syntax}} command used to describe 'incoming' links to an [[article]] or [[Special:Categories|category]] page (or a [[red link]] article or [[category]]); as in: ''what other articles are linking to this particular page I'm now reading?''. | |||
{{ | Many, though not all {{tag|Wiki engine|wiki engines}} support backlinks; and specifically, on [[wiki]] sites powered by the now-ubiquitous [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software, it is more commonly known as 'what links here'. The backlink {{tag|Wiki concept|feature}} is usually found in the toolbox (or tools) section of the [[sidebar]]. It can also be accessed by using keyboard-direct command of <kbd>alt-j</kbd> (or <kbd>shift-esc-j</kbd> on an [[:Category:Apple|Apple]] [[:Category:Mac|Macintosh]]). Alternatively, a manual [[wikilink]] can be directly created using [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] (<tt>Special:WhatLinksHere/PageName</tt>). | ||
