Is there an easy way to ask the new wiki, "What are all the wiki pages that redirect to this page I'm currently on?"
I saw a redirect to this page but don't remember where:
https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/Detect_TV_system
And I actually think it has a better title name than the redirect target. What does everyone think of switching the names around?

Detecting video standard
I searched for: redirect Detect TV system
Hard to be in favor of switching the names without knowing what the other name is! Either way, I don't like either of these names. I would call this page "Console region detection code" or something similar. It detects console region, and we have a similarly named page for controller reading (Controller reading code). I would consider having the page have different variants of this method, such as one not requiring NMI (I use $2002 polling in my games), and possibly even code for other region features (using joypad open bus bits to check for various console models; checking for lost time when accessing the PPU for detecting Hong Kong Famicom).

In the left margin, you can click on "Page information", then on the next page click on "Number of redirects to this page".jeffythedragonslayer wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 6:20 pmIs there an easy way to ask the new wiki, "What are all the wiki pages that redirect to this page I'm currently on?"

Re: Reverse Redirect Lookup
"Page Information" happened to be on the right side on mobile. Thanks.
