Encyclopedic overview
Within the Tools section at the top-right of every page (in the standard view) is a link labeled "What links here". This is used to see a list of the pages that link to (or redirect to, or transclude) the current page. These are sometimes referred to as backlinks.
It is possible to make a wikilink to the "What links here" list for a particular page; to do this type [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Page name]], replacing Page name with the title of the target page. (The same text, without the square brackets, can also be entered in the search box, to access "What links here" for any page title.)
