ah, I was pretty sure I saw your name somewhere before. A GSoCer =)
Have you tried simply reading
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php ? It
gives a simple overview of most of the API's possibilities. I also
links to....
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API the API documentation
=)
Regarding your question, searching for "backlinks" on the first page
links you to a good example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=backlinks&bltit…
GSoC is a lot about looking by yourself for documentation, about being
independent. Come on', dig a bit more, the answer wasn't so hard to
find =)
