Hi, I just thought it would be a good idea to be able to track where the current article is being referenced. This way, it would be easier to track the relations and structures between existing articles. I hope I am in the correct place to ask about this. For example, if I am reading the wiki article on Ubuntu, it would be nice to be able to see that this article was referenced in article Debian, and Debian itself being referenced in article about Linux. I am aware that each article it self may reference these related articles since it mentions them in its content, however, I found that this is not always done in one to one in most articles. Also, making hyper-links to every titles to existing article is convenient in many ways, but it looks messy and lacks structure. I wish for some type of (a new tab perhaps per article) organized structure showing how each articles are related to others and possibly showing groups and sets of topics. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks, and happy Wiking! David Joo
I think that [[Cpecial:WhatLinksHere]], categories, and other navigational tools such as navboxes ([[Template:Navbox]]) adequately cover this need for the simple case. If you need a more powerful relational analysis system, one of the SemanticMediaWiki extensions should provide that functionality. I don't think there's anything we need to add to core here.
Yes, Special:Whatlinkshere would solve this for links, and we don't have semantic info in core.
