--- Comment #1 from Brett Zamir <bret...@yahoo.com> 2011-12-25 18:34:48 UTC --- Essentially, the receiving use cases are enhancing what is possible in "What Links Here", and allowing that information to be displayed inline within pages (category or otherwise). (That would actually be useful in some situations for wiki syntax to allow manual inclusion (or selective exclusion) within the body of the page too, but this suggestion is more for using them in its own exclusively site-owner-controlled section.) During the pingback checking process, Mediawiki or extensions could allow for more intelligent use of these backlinks (in terms of placement, etc.), by checking (and storing) whether the origin page included the link as part of "nofollow" (in which case, it might not be shown at all, or shown in its own confined area), whether "Mediawiki" appeared within the generator meta tags, and/or whether some other "rel" or meta-information was used as well (e.g., to determine in a systematic way whether a page linking to a category page was itself meant as a category page). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
