While our main page has a high pagerank, individual articles probably don't (depending on how well they're linked to). So, it would help to link to Special:Allpages from the main page (the static cached version is fine). That way, it would take at most 3 links from the main page to any article.
It already takes at most 4 links from the Main Page to any article (via the "Special Pages" link in the side bar).
I'm looking at things from google's point of view. The difference between level 3 and level 4 can be huge. Currently, Special:Allpages is not indexed by google and so it is useless. That's why I feel it should be made more prominent.
Hm. I see that Special:Allpages has a <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"> tag. Special:Specialpages, however, has index,nofollow. That means that Google won't reach Allpages through this route.
However, upon closer inspection, I notice that the Main Page *does* have a link to Special:Allpages, entitled "All articles by title".
