When using spaced links the backlink only works when using WikiWord-Links. Have a look at the backlinks/all webs of this 2 topic:

The same behaviour appears on the correction of links when renaming / deleting a topic!

This is correct. And fixing it could be very resource intensive so I do not recommend even trying until we have a database backend to support it.

Backlinks feature is already very resource hungry. Adding more could make it worse.

We plan to add some database backend in which such links would be indexed and then a backlinks search will be lightening fast.

Changing to confirmed.

... and hopefully "rename" and "backlinks" will use the same impl (they don't return the same result btw)
