    • Interlanguage links to redirect pages (A:X links to B:X, but B:X redirects to B:Y)
  • Interlanguage links that possibly should exist:
    • Suggested reciprocal links (A:X links to B:Y, should B:Y link back to A:X ?)
    • Potential commutations (A:X links to B:X and C:X. Should B:X should link to C:X also?)
    • Potential inductions (A:X links to B:X and B:X links to C:X. Should A:X link to C:X?)
  • Interlanguage links that are possibly incorrect
    • Inconsistent interlanguage links (A:X links to B:X, but B:X links to A:Y)
    • Pages that link more than once to the same language (A:X links to B:X and B:Y)
    • Pages that are linked to from multiple page in a given language (Both A:X and A:Y link to B:X)
