All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part V

[GethN7]

I'm not at all interested in tying page survival to inbound links, but I was always interested and amused at the kind of places that made it to the old "weird inbound links" list. And while I understand your concern about unsavory neighborhoods where links might be coming from, at least that kind of information might be good for finding stuff we don't want. I'd rather have the information and not have a need for it, than discover a need for it and not have a way to get it. If it's possible, that is. After all, if PMWiki could do it, something should be possible in MW. After all, it's just examining the headers for the page requests, isn't it?

 

True, that is the other side I hadn't considered. Great point, will redouble my efforts to find an inbound link detector when I'm fully recovered.

Edit: Based on what research I've done to this point, we either need to make a clean room version of the inbound links.php used by TVT Tropes (as a site extension), or have something like this as a site service:
