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.
