Description
OK. It is not really a bug. However, sometimes it might happen that backlinks list the current page itself, its page template, navigation pages nav:top or nav:right and this is annoying.
Also mentioned is that BackLinks does NOT work with links behind images.

Solution
There should be
- a skipCurrent attribute, like the ListPages module has
- category="-nav, -system, -template, +blog" with the "-" to deselect or "+" to select categories

I've posted another problem to the community forum: this module shows my hidden pages! In my opinion this is a bug, so I repost it here:

What do you mean? It is impossible to hide any pages in your wiki, unless you make the whole site private (a feature to hide pages in public wiki's is currently being tested, though)

Hello, Leandro.
As Shane already said, there is no possibility to have "hidden pages". Still. They are working on hidden categories and we'll soon have them (hopefully).
But I think that what you don't want is that your page in "process" is listed by Backlnks module until it is finished. That is why you are using low dash in front of the name. But this is not how it works. There is a simple solution: don't include the page name in which you have a backlink module to the page in "process".
There are different ways to control which page will appear in the list and which not. You can use tags, or different categories.
Using tags:
In page where you want your articles listed, you put Listpages module:
When you create a page pessoas:karl-marx you tag it with in-work and it will not show in the list. When you are finished, just remove the tag and that's it. Bad thing is that if you work on different articles at the time, the articles will order according to the time of page creation and not tag removal. if you want that the pages be ordered according the order of finishing it, then use the same module, but without the tag parameter.
Create a page sandbox:karl-marx. When you finish, you rename the page to pessoas:karl-marx and the article will appear as the latest in the list.
It would help a lot if you opened the site, because if we see the source of your pages, we can help better.

Hope you don't mind Brunhilda…… I changed "dateCreatedDesc" as that is deprecated and isn't in the documentation any more. It was changed to "created_at desc" instead.

Whatever, this was there just as an example. Maybe Leandro wants to order pages according to some other criteria…
PS:Why it is not in documentation anymore if it works as a Swiss clock?
