Make Special:Whatlinkshere includable. Maybe add an parameter option to restrict to namespaces, e.g. {{Special:Whatlinkshere/Foo:Bar|ns=MAIN,PROJECT}} would list all MAIN and PRPJECT pages linking to Foo:Bar.

Question - does this implementation include a namespace parameter as suggested above? If so I can probably close my own bug 62988 as being unnecessary.
Yes, like all special pages, any url parameter can be passed like a template parameter. E.g. {{Special:whatlinkshere/some page|namespace=6}} would show images pages that link to some page.
Great, thanks. In which case I can replace the {{what links here}} template on en.wp with this when it goes live. I'll WONTFIX my bug.
Great. Works as desired, altho only 1 ns can be selected? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Subfader/Whatlinkshere
(In reply to Subfader from comment #9) > Great.

To add the capability to select several namespaces, you probably want to open an other bug report :]
Ah right, it's just the SpecialPage functionality. Thanks, happy for now!
