I second this request.

I thought about this with a colleague the other day. Here's a sketch of how it might work, if anyone wants to implement it.

Ingredients:

• A page_links join table (two columns, something like: source_page and linked_page)
• An observer on the wiki page model
• A method on the wiki page parser that gives an array of links

On save, the source page would delete all its rows in page_links, parse the new page content for links, and update the join table with which pages are now linked.

To display "what links here", all that would be needed is a query to give all page_links rows with a linked_page of the currently viewed page. The pages that link to that page are the source_page values in the result of that query.

Example:

page_links has no rows.

I create a page called "foo" with this content:

page_links then has:

Then, I create a page named "bar":

To find the pages that link to "bar", I query for page_links with a linked_page of "bar". Result:

So, "foo" is the only page that links to "bar".
