The format changed to avoid excessively long output. I've looked at the form and those links on wiktionary and don't see anything incorrect or not "working".
Changing Allpages to Prefindex doesn't accomplish this. Much shorter lists than before are now returned for unusual prefixes, such as "Kinematic". But I can still request a Prefindex for "A" and get 350 (?) links listed. Apparently there is both a change in behaviour (from Allpages to Prefindex) and a limit (to 350 links), and the desired result is achieved by the limit, not by the changed behaviour.
A better solution would be to provide a limit of 200 or 350 links in the output, but keeping the old behaviour of Allpages.
Especially, the ability to step *back* as well as forward in that list can be very useful, when you're looking for alternative spellings of a non-existing page name. After searching for Kinematics, I need to step backwards to find Kinematic diagram.
