Every page in the Sonic Retro Info Wiki has a link that is labeled '''"what links here"'''.  On some other wikis, this is known as '''backlinks'''.  This feature is designed to see which other pages in the wiki contain a link to a given page.
 
 
 
However, there are a few limitations to this feature:
 
* A maximum of 500 pages are listed; if there are more, there is no indication that the list is incomplete.
 
* Subpages that have ''automatic'' (generated) links are not listed.
 
 
 
The "what links here" listing can also be used with [[Help:Template|template]]s, because a referral to a template is treated as a link.  (This means that you can find out which pages are using a specific template.)  Also, a link from a template is treated as such, and not as a link from the page in which the template is included.
 
 
 
This feature also works for pages that do not exist.  It can be useful in which pages that have not (yet) been created may be in the highest demand.
 
 
 
When the link tables in the database are rebuilt, the lists are alphabetically ordered. However, adding a link subsequently causes it to be added to the end, and thus these occur in chronological order.
