 Some more elaborate limits can be added to what matches using these functions:
 
-* "`link(page)`" - match only pages that link to a given page (or glob)
-* "`backlink(page)`" - match only pages that a given page links to
-* "`creation_month(month)`" - match only pages created on the given month

-## Old syntax
-
-The old PageSpec syntax was called a "GlobList", and worked differently in
-two ways:
-
-1. "and" and "or" were not used; any page matching any item from the list
-   matched.
-2. If an item was prefixed with "`!`", then no page matching that item
-   matched, even if it matched an earlier list item.
-
-For example, here is the old way to match all pages except for the SandBox
-and Discussion pages:
-
-       * !SandBox !*/Discussion
-
-Using this old syntax is still supported. However, the old syntax is
-deprecated and will be removed at some point, and using the new syntax is
-recommended.
+To indicate the name of the page the PageSpec is used in, you can
+use a single dot. For example, `link(.)` matches all the pages
+linking to the page containing the PageSpec.
