}

Examples

[[module Backlinks]]

and this produces backlinks for this page:

Tip: You can use the Backlinks module to make soft categories — simply create pages in the namespace category:, e.g.

  • category:cars
  • category:bikes
  • etc…

Each of these pages could have a description of the category and the [[module Backlinks]] that would list the pages…

And within the pages you want to add to specific categories you would put links to these categories, e.g. at the bottom:

++ Categories:

[[[category:cars]]], [[[category:bikes]]]

Moreover if all your category pages, i.e. category:cars, category:bikes etc. include a link to a page called category:all — it is a quick way to put the module in the category:all too and have a list of all categories.
