If you click on "Hide transclusions" in the WhatLinksHere page, you'll
see the list you are getting from the API for backlinks.
Seems you want some form of the "all links" list query to get the
transclusions, but I'm not quite sure.

Hello,
I am trying to figure out why there is a discrepancy between the number of
backlinks produced via the API versus the main web interface:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Ta…
-> produces 100 results, with more pages available
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=backlinks&bltit…
-> produces only 48 results (ending in "Leaf-mimic katydid")
Is there something wrong with my query string?
Thanks,
Karl
