Special:Linksearch is a special page which searches for external links in Wikipedia. It provides a list of external links (in all namespaces) whose target URL starts with the given URL pattern. For each link the page in which it is found is listed, along with the exact target URL of the link on that page. The results are ordered alphabetically by target URL.
(For very large or specialized external link searches, one may also use SQL queries against the externallinks table at Quarry.)
