So neither of you "invented" it -- that function has been in the
software all along. You certainly discovered it, but you weren't the
first to do so.
Obviously, this can be done with any list produced by the MediaWiki
software: user contributions (doesn't work for older users),
whatlinkshere, etc.
There are better, more accurate ways to do this, which generally involve
running Perl scripts over database dumps. The disambiguation link repair
lists on en: are generated this way. With Perl and a DB dump, pretty
much anything is possible :)
