Pagelinks table

Tracks all internal links in the Wiki. Each entry contains the source page's ID, and the namespace (number) and article name (in text) that is being linked to within that source page. There may be many instances of the source page's ID, as many as the internal links within it, but there can be only one entry per internal link for any page ID (or MYSQL will yell out a fatal error).

Note that the target page may or may not exist, and due to renames and deletions may refer to different page records as time goes by.[1]
