Hopefully there is a really easy way to do this, and I've just failed to
find in the documentation how to do it...

Is there any way to set up a page so that it lists information that people
contribute, as well as provides a listing of all the pages that link to it.

e.g.
------------------------------------------------------
[Aldon Hynes]
Aldon Hynes lives in [Connecticut]
------------------------------------------------------
[Jim Dean]
Jim Dean lives in [Connecticut]
------------------------------------------------------
[Connecticut]
Connecticut has five congress people.  Important people
that live in Connecticut include:
*** At this point, it would list me and Jim.  If someone
set up a new page which also included [Connecticut] that
would automatically show up in the list ***
------------------------------------------------------

or

-------------------------------------------------------
[cat]
A cat is a type of [mammal] that humans often keep as a pet
-------------------------------------------------------
[cow]
A cow is a type of [mammal] that humans often raise for get milk
-------------------------------------------------------
[mammal]
A mammal is a type of [animal] that nurses its young.
For mammals list here, please see:
*** At this point, it would list cats and cows.  If someone
set up a new page which also included [mammal] that
would automatically show up in the list ***
