[Mediawiki-api] arbitrary limit on backlinks?

[Karl Ostmo]

Sorry to answer my own question:

The "embeddedin" query is what I needed to produce the same results as "What
links here" with transclusions shown.  My query should have been:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=embeddedin&eititle=Template:Taxobox&einamespace=0&filterredir=nonredirects&eilimit=100&format=xml

Cheers!
Karl
