My compliments to Krik. This is a very useful page. --Merovingian✍Talk 13:44, Aug 20, 2004 (UTC)
Am I missing the uppper case versions? "AA" etc. Stan 01:08, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
This or a second page should include the double-capitalised two letter combinations as starting points for index browsing as well. Courtland 02:13, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
First three letter index
This alphabetical listing is outstanding! Nevertheless, one possible improvement: For some letters even "first two" isn't enoough. E.g. "ch". How about taking the first row of A-Z (which isn't very useful in and of itself because there are so many articles) and changing it: when someone clicks on "A" - the result will be a 26x26 chart of "first three letters" for "A", i.e. Aaa through Azz. If someone clicks "C" - the result will be "Caa" through "Czz", so there will also be a row of "Cha" through "Chz". 80.178.194.56 05:15, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
A question
I can't get letters like A. B or anything that the second letter has a period in the Quick without specifically searching for it after clicking on a letter. Any ideasFalphin 21:32, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
That could be added, but it would also be useful to add digits (A0 to A9, etc.) and things like Áa, Äa, and so on. Courtland 02:18, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
Better template now in place
I made a template called Template:quickindexnav which is a little more efficient for producing the letters. The way it works is the following...
You enter...
{{quickindexnav|A}}
Rather than entering...
|]
|]
|]
|]
|]
etc...
The A in.. {{quickindexnav|A}} ...is the beginning letter. Of course that means it can be customized for each line.
Need (or lack thereof) a table?
This is a large list of letters; does it really need to be done in a table?
- Do you have a better suggestion? RexNL 17:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Numbers
I have lost the ability to find an index to articles beginning with numbers. Sure, there are an increadable amount of articles about years on a time line, but I'm talking about articles like 9P/Tempel and such.
While I'm ranting, how about giving us the ability to eleminate redirects from the list if we wish?
- You will find a full index of articles (including the ones starting with a number) at Special:Allpages. Also, redirects are displayed italicized there. RexNL 17:27, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Change from Allpages to Prefixindex?
Should this index page not use the Special:Prefixindex feature instead of the Special:Allpages feature? Compare Special:Allpages/AA to Special:Prefixindex/AA. The former is a starting point (starting at AA), while the latter is a list of everything that starts AA. This allows you to see how many pages there are for each index point, rather than just jumping in and browsing forward and then realising you've gone into the next index point. Of course, a separate page could be set up that is identical to this, but uses Prefixindex instead. Or this page could be changed. Which would be best? Carcharoth 12:25, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
№ symbol versus No.
Why was the №-symbol replaced with "No." (diff)? Don't all fonts support it or what? I think it looks nicer. --80.63.213.182 12:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
