Is it possible to make a table of contents for the

I'm not sure what the structure of such a TOC would look like. A TOC
is suited to something like a book which has a hierarchical structure
over a linear one. Wiki's are 1) non-linear in that there is no one
order in which to read everything, and 2) non-hierarchical in that the
articles are connected as an arbitrary directed graph via the
hyperlinks.
Categories can impose a hierarchy, but that requires manual
maintenance, and a certain discipline as to how they are used. One
could use something like pywikibot to generate a "hierarchical" list
of categories at any given point in time.
The indexing function is served by things like full text searches and
"what links here." I suppose that it might be possible to make a
static index from a snapshot of the wiki using tools like pywikibot,
but...
And of course you can get a list of all the pages in alphabetical order.
