[[Special:Allpages/Talk:]]

(there is a semi-colon at the end), moreover,

[[Special:Allpages/Talk:Nn]]

will display only the discussion pages that are alphabetically after Nn (Nn being any character)

THANK YOU, Alexis,

Wow, I am not worthy! I've been searching and reading about templates and variables at the scattered resources at MediaWiki.org and Wikipedia.org and Meta.MediaWiki.org and there is much power in those simple tools. Great exploration and simplification, and JUST what I was after!

Thank you!
