Special:Whatlinkshere shows up to 500 direct links per page, with options for "previous/next 500". For each incoming redirect, it additionally shows up to 500 links through that redirect. However, this second limit of 500 seems to be unrelated to the first limit, and no "next 500" option is available. See [[w:en:Liberal Democrats]], where there are under 500 direct links, but over 2000 through [[Liberal Democrats (UK)]], and there is no way of viewing all the redirected links on [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Liberal Democrats]]. [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Liberal Democrats (UK)]] shows all the redirected links fine.
Probably a hard limit due to performance concerns.
It is currently set to a hard limit. The following patch would allow a global variable to set that number.

I applied this with a few changes in r32303. If more than 500 such links are wanted on a wiki, $wgMaxRedirectLinksRetrieved can be set to the desired value on LocalSetting.php
