I'm posting this question here as it's kind of specific to wikipedia/media as well as it's a possible mediawiki-feature-request.
Would it be possible to add some kind of feature or extension which enables users to either; - get a list of the next/previous articles alphabetically (a short index) in a separate box/window, or - get a summary of the next articles at the bottom of current article (to simulate a book)
There has been some suggestions to add a transcluded Special:Prefixindex/{{PAGENAME}} to the stub-templates, but I have warned them off with a possible hit in uncacheable pages.. Adding some AJAX-functionality would also need some kind of uncacheable special-page output.
I guess there's always a way to do a quick hack of this, but doing it in a way that's cacheable and meaningful is another problem.
