Description Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2013-02-21 16:28:13 UTC 
I noticed today, that paging on special:linksearch uses a numeric offset. For example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&limit=500&offset=5000&target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wga.hu%2Fart%2F

For efficiency reasons it should probably use an offset of the last entry displayed on the page. (For example: offset=http://www.wga.hu/art/c/crespi/daniele/pieta.jpg or something)

Note: I say this without looking how it is implemented/the db queries. So I may be misunderstanding the issues involved.

API uses also offset, because there is no primary key you can use for pagination. That makes it also hard to reverse the order.
Comment 2 Umherirrender 2013-11-18 18:22:39 UTC 
primary key was added with Gerrit change #51675, maybe that helps
