Will someone interested in a profile know I linked to it from a free space page?

Question

I have a number of free space pages where I link to a lot of people. Genealogists interested in those people would be interested to find their relatives on these pages but they don't see them, do they? Is there a way to flag a profile FROM the free space page without a lot of work? For instance, a list of all the attendees at a certain Quaker wedding. Or people who attended a particular estate sale. It's a good way to find friends and relatives. I'm attaching an example. Thanks.

not that I know of.

You could set up a companion category to go with it and then link to the free space page from there. Here's a simple one I did. (ignore that this particular free-space is useless.)  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Sackville_Cenotaph

On the Space page, you could add the following to see what profiles have links to the page:

• [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:Some_Quaker_Weddings | WikiTree Profiles that use this space page]]

You could go into each profile after you add the links in the space page and add something similar to the following, which would provide a link to it:

That would certainly work but it's more work than I handle. Thanks!

Jane, it might not be too hard if you prepared the post and then pasted it into one profile after the other.  However, if it is, maybe you could post a comment on the profile of each bride and groom noting that you've created the FSP and that interested PMs might want to see who attended their ancestor's wedding.  

You must have found the profiles at one time, since you linked to them.  I'd think it would be easier to add a (reverse) link at that time.
