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>).
