The only dumb question is the one that isn't asked,...

I still use RefCount
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/RefCount
But I suspect PageList can now do it all.

I, and the PmWiki site, use categories and PageList for this.
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Categories
and


Quick overview:

There is a special group called Categories. A page linked to 
Category.One will be in category ToDo.

A page can be in many categories at once, just keep adding links.

There is a shortcut. [[!ToDo]] is the same as [[Category.ToDo]].

You do not have to create the page Category.One.

To list all the pages in a category, use PageList.
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PageLists
(:pagelist link=Category.To.Do:)
This is a list of all pages that link to Category.ToDo.

If you want to get fancy, you can add a line to config.php to 
automatically create a page in Category when you link a page to a new 
category. Then in Category.PageFooter, you add
(:pagelist link=
Okay, my memory's getting fuzzy here. You want it to show links to the 
page being shown, not the PageFooter. Something about a star.

Cheers!

Sandy
