The (prev) links rely on having a &back= id from which they can be filled. This works neatly if you want to go back one level, but try and go back two in a row and the whole thing falls apart. For example:, take https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Abacus . Now go forward (next) two times, and then back twice. In fact, you get trapped on page 2, because now there's no &back= id to use in the generation of a (prev) link. WLH should probably copy other special pages and do "(prev)" using a dir=prev parameter.

Patch in Gerrit still waiting for review. :(
Change 41386 had a related patch set uploaded by Nemo bis: (bug #43509) Special:Whatlinkshere pagination broken https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/41386
Hi Jarry: Are you still available to move your patch forward? Nemo: Do you think you can help move it forward? Reseting assignee for now and adding the gerrit reviewers from the patch as a CC here.
The problem here is that you need a test instance with a lot of pages, that link to 1 page. Not many reviewers will have that.
