Purpose of this index?

How comprehensive or up to date is this page, really? It seems like a gargantuan task, and I'm not sure what the clear benefit is, since when trying to find a page, it's almost always easier to just search the Wikipedia namespace. I'd suggest either finding a way to automate the maintenance of this page, or just marking it as historical and abandoning it. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 08:50, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Sdkb, I concur. I encountered this page while seeking resources to support a WikiProject. Many links were themselves historical, or should have been. I contemplated updating that section based on my recent experience but decided there were other better sources already. —¿philoserf? (talk) 08:55, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

The benefit for me is that it helps me find things that I didn't know to search for. I often come to this page, pick a random letter, and scan the list; I almost always learn about something that I didn't know was a thing. It's also helpful for finding a specific page about a subject that has a lot of related pages, as the search box dropdown is so literal. Schazjmd (talk) 13:48, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

@Schazjmd: if you are still using this page, feel free to delete lines with obsolete links. – Fayenatic London 10:27, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

TOC

@Moxy the mobile vew of this page looks perfectly fine to me, what issue are you seeing? FaviFake (talk) 14:29, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Just hope you're doing this all over.... Many of the help pages are set up so that there is a TOC in the old skin... As well as the new skin in both mobile and desktop view what you're adding causes two TOC to appear in all three views

Yes, that is intended. Did you read the discussion at the VP that I linked? Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Vector_2022_TOC_is_still_needlessly_disabled_on_most_lists

I do not understand the rest of your message FaviFake (talk) 14:40, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Of course I read it..... and clearly a misunderstanding of how this functions - can you not see the image? Moxy🍁 14:43, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Your new edit fixed it, thanks. I it seems was misled by the template's /doc. FaviFake (talk) 16:12, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
