I would like to use backlinks on every page to give users ideas as to how products are inter-connected. How could I make changes to browser.html (?) to do this?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
No, there isn't. Yours is the first request for one.
There are plans for a means by which people can sign up to receive e-mail notification of changes to a page.
No one (until you) has requested an e-mail this page feature. Unless it's in a private (password protected) wiki, I'd be a little afraid that such a feature could be used fomr spammage. (Put your advertisement in a wiki page, and write a script which instructs the wiki to e-mail the page to your list of unsuspecting spammees.)
Out of curiousity, in what circumstance would you find such a feature useful?

We have a feature we call "back links" which is what you get when you click on the title of the page, i.e. all the pages linking to this one.
If you want to access the user's history, I know there is a way to do this in Javascript to send them back to the previous page.
If on the other hand you mean "next previous up contents" types of links, you could just do this by hand with square bracket links:
[Back : ProductPage]
Please let me know if that answers your question.

In the development branch (1.3.x), you can embed plugins in the HTML templates, the same way you include them in the wiki text.
Specifically, if you include:
<?plugin BackLinks page="[pagename]" include_self=0 noheader=1?>
in templates/browse.html, that code will be replaced by a list (<ul>) of pages which link the the current page.
Is that what you were looking for?
I think the pluggin might do the trick. I will try it and let you know.
BTW is there a pluggin that would but an "email this page" button/link on each PHPWiki page ?
