:That would depend what you are looking for in common. If it is a subject, then probably [[WP:CAT|categories]], if it is the article title, then [[Special:Allpages]] is the way to go, or if it is the state of the article, then you can use [[Special:Whatlinkshere]] on a cleanup template, like [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Cleanup]]. I hope this answers it! [[User:MichaelBillington|Michael Billington]] ([[User talk:MichaelBillington|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/MichaelBillington|contribs]]) 01:29, 29 October 2006 (UTC) |
