All,
I am creating a page that links to a dozen or so other pages; each of these other pages more or less corresponds to a "chapter" of our documentation.
I would like this landing page to have a complete table of contents, including all the sub-headings of the subsidiary pages. Is this possible?
For example, this seems easy (each line is a page link):
* Installing * Developer's Guide
But what I want is this (the subsections are linked to subheadings):
* Installing * Installation Instructions * Software Prerequisites * Pyserver * Flashclient * Compiling * Developer’s Guide * New Developer How-To * Using Subversion * Branching model * Checkout * How to commit * Postgres notes * Dumping and loading the database * Misc * Troubleshooting
Is this possible (other than manually)? If so, how do I do it?
Many thanks,
Reid

Indeed, on my small wiki http://transgender-taiwan.org/ on the Main Page I just do {{Special:Allpages}} to achieve that effect.

Hmmm, maybe use the above method and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages (but I wouldn't mess up my page names just for the Special:Allpages display.)
Hello!I thought that would be a good idea so I programmed for a few weeks and, beside it beeing pretty tough to do and programming around three corners (since there is no avaliable hook for this), I got an extension available that does exact what was wished (at least I think so ;)). It's called ExtIdx (Extended Index).
If a link is in a headline, a plus will appear and if you click on it, the index of the (in the headline) referred page will be shown.
Here's the page of the extension on mediawiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ExtIdx_(Extended_Index)
And here's the extensions own website (on the main page click on the link to the "ExtIdx" extension): http://www.chaosreligion.com
I hope there's a use for it!
greetings, Markus
