I was thinking you couldn't go back to a previous page. I think maybe you should be able to work from both directions, but if you didn't then you'd likely end up with dozens of links, The Scenic Route.

I have like 30 tabs open and didn't make a link, but going backwards from Esperanto, I just realized I could have done:

Babbitt
Untied States
Official Language
International auxiliary language
Esperanto

That was painful.

We could try Monster's idea and make all the destinations Morningside Crescent. The winner would get to choose the new embarkation point.

If it caught on, we would all become experts in the links that point to Morningside Crescent.

FSM forbid someone gets virtual mornington crescent as a homework assignment

So the new start point is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stephen_Hogg, and we'll try morningside crescent as the destination. This shouldn't be hard at all.
