    Would be more fun if it didn't allow for categories, and rather only the links within content.

    With that said, let's try...

    David Healy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Politics of Djibouti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Go go go.

    man I think mine was way more than that.

    David Healy (Irish politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Green Party (Ireland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    List of political parties by country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    List of political parties in Djibouti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Politics of Djibouti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    but imho the second and third to last are ridiculous on wikipedia's part because one is just a page saying 'lol this list is too big for this page!' and the second is the list on that page.
    [edit= haha, cut it down one]
    [edit- oh snap, i didn't see this link on the green party of ireland page 8) four baby!]

    Cinder Cone (British Columbia) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    EDIT: Damn, I got it in six even for that. This is difficult - the first pages almost always have a major link in them.

    EDIT: The fact that people can easily just force it by editing pages doesn't help much xD
