Topic Linking and Viewing Linked Topics

JQ331 inquired about viewing all topics that link to a specific topic. They noticed that sometimes a linked topic is displayed under the original topic, but not always.

codinghorror clarified that this should happen all the time and provided an example of how linked topics are displayed. They suggested that viewing all linked topics is equivalent to expanding the link list under the post.

JQ331 thanked codinghorror for the explanation and asked about the setting to control the number of linked topics shown in the link list.

Right now–in some cases–if I create a topic (topic 1) and link to another topic (topic 2), there’s a listing on the linked topic (topic 2) that shows topic 1 linked to it.

For example, I created a topic that linked to this topic. If you view that topic, you’ll see a reference right under it to my topic. But this doesn’t seem to happen all the time.

  1. When does this happen?
  2. Is it possible to view ALL topics that link to a certain topic? (for example, if I create a topic, and then 50 other topics link to it, is there a way for me to see a list of those 50?)

It should happen all the time:

Wouldn’t this be the same as expanding the link list under the post? For example the FAQs get a lot of links:

Thank you. That does seem to address it well–I missed how this shows up all the time.

For the link list, where is the setting to control how many are shown (13 in the example you provided)? I have searched admin settings under ‘link’ and ‘topic’ but am not seeing it yet.
