There is already an alphabetical list of articles available in Wikipedia: it is "All pages by title" on Special Pages or Special:Allpages. It has been temporarily disabled but there is always a saved copy available. It won't really help you with searching, only with browsing. And even then, considering there are at least 170,000 articles, you will have to browse for a really long time. :-) The current saved copy is rather old (13 May 2003) - could someone please update it. Brion mentioned on November 21 the miser mode override facility that would supposedly let people update the saved copy easily by adding &magic=yes to the end of the URL. e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allpages <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allpages&magic=yes> &magic=yes However this currently returns "You have requested a special page that is not recognized by the wiki." Is this the correct syntax? If so, does anyone know why it doesn't work? Not so much for Allpages but for some of the other special pages it would be useful to have updates every week or three.
