    Description

      Atlassian status as of September 2019

      Trackback enables Confluence to send and receive trackback pings when pages are linked to. Referrers appear on the Page Information view of a page, and list clicks from external websites to the page. Trackback is no longer widely used in modern websites, and because it relies on accepting unauthenticated requests to a particular URL, is a spam vector.

      We removed the trackback and referrers features completely in Confluence 7.0.

      Feel free to comment on this issue if this change will have a significant impact on your Confluence site.
