I remember that discussion. Of course it depended on knowing what the
n'th article was. In Wiktionary at [[By Alphabetical Order]], I've
thought of this. The question that comes from this, given that the
entire body is an ordered list, is there a formula that will produce the
title of the n'th article in the list of all pages?
