Likewise wise!

I suspect the only way to answer that will be to go some kind of grep
for references between pages. How many direct references to the egg
pages are there, other than Eggs Unlimited which would of course be
regenerated to show the new refs?

I very much doubt there's anything that will break that doesn't need
some attention anyway... but it'd be good to know :-)
