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:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Topic_outline_of_Algeria&actio...
* Algeria is: a [[country]] * Location: ** [[Northern Hemisphere]] and lies on the [[Prime Meridian]] *** [[Africa]] **** [[Sahara|Sahara Desert]] **** [[North Africa]] ***** [[Maghreb]] ** [[West Africa]] ** [[Time zone]](s): [[]] ** [[Extreme points of Algeria]] * [[Population of Algeria]]: 33,769,669 people <ref name="cia">[https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ag.html ''CIA World Factbook'']</ref> (2008 [[estimate]]) - [[List of countries by population|35th most populous country]] * [[Area of Algeria]]: 2,381,741 [[kmĀ²]] (919,595 [[sq mi]]) - [[List of countries and outlying territories by total area|11th largest country]] * [[:commons:Atlas of Algeria|Atlas of Algeria]]
What could possibly the use of this page that is not already done by any other existing and more-or-less maintained page?
