Are there any conditions under which discourse does not generate a backward link under the a post linked by another post (I’ll call them linkback links)?

I’m not aware of any such conditions and so I’m wondering why the link (entitled “Filters just got a big upgrade”) at the very bottom of [this post](https://forum.duplicacy.com/t/filters-include-exclude-patterns/1089?u=christoph) did not generate a linkback link under [the target post.](https://forum.duplicacy.com/t/filters-just-got-a-big-upgrade-import-files/2120?u=christoph)

Is it a bug?

It’s there now? Maybe they get added by sidekiq and it was behind?

No, I don’t think so. The link was added to the post more than two weeks ago.

But as I think about it: maybe it has to do with the source post being a wiki? Or the link in question being added in a later revision?
