Kind of interesting

if only because we're explicitly mentioned. [1] I've saved a screenshot of it if anybody wants to see it after they purge it. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 06:35, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I stared at the page for a few minutes, certain that this seemingly random collection of words was vandalism before I realized that they were names of mostly obscure articles.

So, I'm wondering if there's a better way to present this page. I understand that the object of the page is to divide up the articles into sections of the alphabet, but what if the page instead displayed (for example)

$ to K
L to R
S to o
p to y

(with appropriate links, of course)

I'm just thinking that if this page was confusing to me, it must be very confusing for newcomers to the Wiki. The above reformatting (or something like it) would make a lot more sense to the uninitiated, I think. Thanks! Trey56 15:21, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I like the idea, though maybe it could say "$ to Ki", to be more accurate. Trelawney

It can't hurt to suggest that to the developers as an enhancement for future versions: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 17:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh—is this an immutable part of the software? Trey56 18:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, nothing's immutable. In fact, anyone who wants to can suggest changes to the source file. I personally, however, don't see this as a pressing need at this time. — It's dot com 18:27, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
I see; thanks for your reply. Trey56 18:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

If it's worth anything, that confused me as well, the first time I looked at it. SaltyTalk! 20:45, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
