The Wikiproject about it is quite new. The way I see
it, topic outlines are more of a topical glossary that lack the subcategorizing that a
regular category would have. They could be of some use.
Pages like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_outline_of_Algeria
simulate layers of sub-categorization by indent.
In some cases, they are even re-inventing templates and infoboxes like
it is 1999:

What could possibly the use of this page that is not already done by
any other existing and more-or-less maintained page?
