Description Chad H. 2008-03-16 19:57:49 UTC Currently, when the API outputs the links in an article (see URL), there is no way to see if a link is directly in an article or the result of a transclusion. An attribute on <pl> such as direct="no" or something would make these results clearer. Comment 1 Bryan Tong Minh 2008-03-16 20:09:45 UTC I don't think we can fix this. Consider: Template: [[Project:{{{1}}}]] Page: {{:Template|Target}} What would this result? Also this is impossible to fix without fundamentally changing how MediaWiki handles pagelinks. Closing as wontfix.
