BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=989077&group_id=34373&atid=411192

If you go to the "Maintenance" special page and click
on "Pages with Self Links", you should get a list of
all page that contain a link to themselves, which they
should not.

When I tried some of these, I always ended up on a stub
article that had no other references to itself, other
than the "expanding it" part of the "This is a stub"
message.

A few possible solutions:
- determine the list of self-references before
expansion of special codes like {{stub}}
- while expanding special codes, don't count their
self-references
- Don't count references with extra parameters like
action=edit
- Remove the action=edit link from the {{stub}}
expansion and refer to the edit button on the top of
the page 


There was one exception: a page (100 Years Series) that
had  a  __NOTOC__  directive and a manual TOC with
links of the form: 
[[100 Years Series#100 Years...100 Movies|AFIs 100
Years...100 Movies]] 
These are actually links to named bookmarks in the page
and should be allowed too.
I attempted to fix this by changing them to 
[[#100 Years...100 Movies|AFIs 100 Years...100 Movies]]
to make it even more clear that it's a bookmark on the
same page but it still shows up (but the Self Links
page is probably cached for some time, I'll check again
later)

I don't have an account on sourceforge (yet)
However, my login on metawiki, wikipedia, etc, is lvl

I'm closing this bug because self links are no longer entered
into the links table, so the self links maintenance page
has been disabled.
