Problem
Special:Whatlinkshere does not detect DPL-generated lists, of course. It would be great if it could detect them. Right now, if you visit Special:Whatlinkshere for a given article, and it returns no results, you can be fooled that nobody links to your article, and perhaps it's safe to delete... but DPL-generated lists might link to it, and you'll never know about it.
Reply
You are not right. Look at the example Test what links here. This article lists a certain page. And that is the only reference to that page. Go to that page and check the "what links here". It will show the article containing the DPL query.
There is, however, a way to explicitly PREVENT MediaWik from showing links which come from DPL queries: See the reset and eliminate Command.

Test case
OK, here is a test case that shows Special:Whatlinkshere does not detect some DPL-generated lists. The article Test what links here with categories contains a DPL tag that selects on a category:
<dpl> category = Whatlinksheretest </dpl>
The article Test what links here with categories page is in the category "Whatlinksheretest". However, when you visit Special:WhatLinksHere/Test_what_links_here_with_categories_page, the results are blank. Maiden taiwan 21:30, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
