| The term 'backlinks' means the reverse of normal links, that take you from one page to another. Backlinks show you which other pages link to the one you are on, and they are a common feature in most wikis. | The term 'backlinks' means the reverse of the normal kind of links that take you from one page to another.

| Below the Edit, and the Old Revisions buttons, there is the Backlinks button, with icon: {{backlinks-icon.png|this is an illustration: don't click here!}}. When you click this, you get a new screen listing all the pages with links to the one you are on. If you click on any of those links, you will go to that page, and you should be able to find the link to the page you started from. | Below the Edit, and the Old Revisions buttons, there is the Backlinks button, with icon: {{backlinks-icon.png|this is an illustration: don't click here!}}.

| | ===== Navigating a single page ===== |
| | |
| | The most obvious is the usual: scroll down through the page to see what is there. |
| | |
| | There is also, near the top right, a "Table of Contents" drop-down. You can show or hide this by clicking on it. This is meant to enable you to jump to any section heading in the page. It often works … but … there seems to be a bug in our version,FIXME which means that it may not go to the right place at first try. However it does seem to go there on later tries if you haven't changed pages. Not under our control, unfortunately! |
