I am starting to think that the "<page> was linked" should not be
subject to individual notifications at all.
I thought about this, and at first I thought I agreed. But I actually
think it could be interesting for main namespace pages I created,
especially recent ones. If it's mainspace->mainspace (a link *on* an
article *to* an article) and there is a time-based filter ("links to
articles you created within the last 30 days"), I would probably use it.
Pages you created in the past being linked by others
are a different
kind of interaction that is not human-to-human, but more akin to, for
example, someone visiting a blog page that you wrote some time in the
past.
I'd say it's somewhere in between, since writing something (the link is
just one aspect) using your page is different from just visiting it.
