Whatlinkshere should list items that use a specific property
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Somehow Special:Whatlinkshere should list items that use a specific property, or a similar page should list this kind of relationship. In the last case Whatlinkshere should list those entities that are explicitly linked through a property.

I'm not quite sure which model is correct. Implicit linking is sort of slightly on the side of what Whatlinkshere does, but adding other pages with nearly the same behavior is confusing. Also the implicit linking can be said to be explicit as seen from the item pages.

The use case is "go to a property and click Whatlinkshere in the toolbox", and then get a list of items that use this specific property.

This is purely about the repo right?

This functionality is something we'd want in one form or the other. Not sure that doing this in whatlinkshere is the best approach. We probably also want to be able to filter on which values are used to link, do sorting, etc. SMW allows for this by having an interface loose from whatlinkshere, and I can't recall anyone having a problem with that.

Example:

What links here shows which items use a property it seems. Fixed?

I implemented this way back and it was demoed
