Not really. They are still there.

Need to find out why it is not working properly on OL.

[Aaron Swartz (aaronsw)]

moving to OL because it's just broken there

Should backlinks work for every type of page or only for pages of
type type/page?

If they have to work for every type of page, then how should we
compute backlinks?

Do we have a datatype for wiki-markup (i.e. Markdown + wikilinks)? If
so, we should just look for links in that. If not, maybe we should
consider that. If we decide against that, then let's just do it for
type/page (as the linker -- you should be able to request backlinks on
any page but it will only show you links from things of type/page,
right?).

We don't have a datatype for wiki markup. Probably we should have a
type type/wikitext and backlinks should find in all properties of
type type/wikitext.

OK.

http://openlibrary.org/?m=backlinks says "internal server error"

[Edward Betts (edwardbetts)]

I'd like to see backlinks on Open Library.

[Edward Betts (edwardbetts)]

backlink code is in infogami/plugins/links it uses tdb, it needs to be rewritten for infobase

[Anand Chitipothu (anandology)]

I don't think that is a priority now. Moving to wishlist.
