• (bug 4624) Namespace selection for Special:Whatlinkshere

Found another bug: scrolling backwards at Special:Whatlinkshere was broken

since ?

'previous' shows always the first page in reversed order but not the real

previous page.

Fixed now by changing backwards scrolling mechanism.

Ok, together with r20714 (removing unsed variable only) the backwards
scrolling isn't completely fixed :-(

The current version is a little bit better because it is possible to
scroll once back, the second click jumps to the beginning of the list in
correct order.

The previous version jumps at the first backwards click to the beginning
of the list, in reversed order.

I think we need a database request to figure out the offset for every
backwards scrolling in dependency of the current page and the limit. But
I do not know how to do this in the cheapest way, without melting the
servers :-(
