I get the reluctance to have lots of links in the overlay, but I don't think there can be "too many links" in the view all view and html email*. 

That extensive cross linking from article to article is a very Wikipedia trait to me.  Following links from one article to related one via link in the text is a normal navigation pattern.

Facebook's view all view has up to 6 links per event in my current set (although the timestamp links to the same main target as one of the other links).  If their userbase can handle 6 ours can manage at least that many.

*  Text email would look clunky with lots, but it's an uncommon use case

That would work for me too, though I could go either way.

I'd agree with that. Or we could have "user" linked your page "blank" to "blank", although that might be too many links.

According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo/Feature_requirements#Started_Page_-_Linked the text we're supposed to use for the 'page linked' notification is:

Portland Public Library was linked by Peteforsyth. <See all links to this page>.

In this case, I think it is more useful and interesting to know where your article was linked from rather than who performed the linking. Personally, I would suggest:

Portland Public Library was linked from Libraries of Oregon. <See all links to this page>.

Thoughts?
