WhatLinksHere

Special:WhatLinksHere is a powerful tool that can be used to discover articles that link to each other.

How to use

There are a few ways to access the WhatLinksHere (WLH) of a page.

• Navigate to the page in question, then in the sidebar under Tools click WhatLinksHere
• Navigate to the page in question, then press Alt+Shift+J
• Go directly to Special:WhatLinksHere and type an article name

When to use

• Any time you are deleting an article, you should check its WLH and resolve all links.
• If you are considering updating a template, you can check its WLH to find its uses and make sure your change won't break anything. You can also check how widely it's used; if more than 50 articles use it, or if a very important article uses it, you may want to test your change in a sandbox first.
• If you are trying to improve navigation and discoverability of some pages, you can check what links there.
• Maybe you want to add some of the pages from an article's WLH to a See also or Related articles section.
