[xwiki-users] Link - Backlinks not working when link in macro or object
Hi We just introduced XWIKI in our company and I have noticed that there are quite a few problems with links. Among other we have solutions, customers, faq, wiki users... It would be nice have a complete xref of which page references which other page, so we can see (among other): - which customer uses which solutions. - which wiki user was responsible for which project... My idea was to use links for this purpose, but I notices the following problems: - If the link is contained in a macros like {{warn}}[[target]]{{/warn}}, the backreference is not reported on the target page . - If the link is contained in an object like {{include document="FAQCode.FAQSheet"/}}, the backreference is not reported on the target page. - If I rename the target page, the links are broken in the two cases above. I have screenshots documenting my tests Have I missed something in XWIKI? Is there another way to solve my problem? @XWIKI developper: do you have a schedule to correct this? Claude

You haven't missed anything. It's just impossible to be perfect since scripts can generate links too. And yes, those issues have been raised already and need someone to look at them (contributors who submit pull requests/patches are most welcome ;)).
