-I notice that there is quite a bit of redundancy when both tags and backlinks are used extensively. On most pages, the set of links features in both categories is almost identical because a tag's index page is shown both as a tag link and as a backlink. Is there a way to improve that situation somehow? I realise that backlinks aren't generated when the tag index page refers to its contents by \[\[!map ...]], etc., but sometimes an auto-generated index is insufficient.

+I see your point, Joey. I need to maintain that list manually, though, because the automatically generated list is too brief. \[[!map ...]] generates just a list of titles or descriptions. I need a list that contains both. See [[this_posting|ikiwiki/directive/map/discussion]] for more details. Until \[[!map]] can do that, I'm stuck with a manually maintained list. Which means that every link shows up in the backlinks.
