At present, clicking a page's title will get you a list of backlinks. It would be useful if this listing included pages redirecting to the page as well, although I'm not sure if that would require additional stuff in the database. At that point, the list could then include backlinks to the redirecting page as well.

Actually, I find this behaviour confusing enough anyway. It's not what I expect to see when I click on the page title. (I guess I'd expect the page title to take you to the page... um... not that this would be at all useful.)
I'd rather see a _backlinks_ hyperlink possibly in the navigation bar, or at the end of the node.

You know what? I agree with you. The whole click-on-the-title thing is a hand-me-down feature from the original WikiWiki server, which isn't known for its verbosity.
(I guess I'd expect the page title to take you to the page... um... not that this would be at all useful.)
I'd _expect_ the page title to... er... title the page. Apart from that, nothing.

Seconded. Or "pages linking here" - why use jargon when plain English will do? (Plus, that's easier to translate.)
