Show links in inclusions as sublists in WhatLinksHere, just like links to redirects Open

Description

This is about the Special:WhatLinksHere page.

Currently, if I visit Special:WhatLinksHere/XYZ:

  • Pages that links to redirect to the XYZ show up as a sublist under the redirect page. That is very practical.
  • Pages that include a template that links to XYZ show up in the main list, just as if they were directly linking to XYZ. That is much less practical, as they get in the way of actual pages with direct links.

This is a wish for displaying pages including templates with links the same way as pages linking to redirects.

A made-up example below.

Currently would be:

Special:WhatLinksHere/Pineapple

  • Apple
  • Economy of Brazil
  • Peach
  • Template:Fruit navigation
  • Cuisine of Hawaii
  • Banana
  • List of juices
  • Ananas (redirect)
    • List of Brazilian fruits
    • List of plant names
    • Romance languages
  • Pear
  • Blueberry

Ideally it should show up as:

Special:WhatLinksHere/Pineapple

  • Economy of Brazil
  • Cuisine of Hawaii
  • List of juices
  • Ananas (redirect)
    • List of Brazilian fruits
    • List of plant names
    • Romance languages
  • Template:Fruit navigation (inclusion)
    • Apple
    • Peach
    • Banana
    • Pear
    • Blueberry
