Pages like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_outline_of_Algeria
simulate layers of sub-categorization by indent.

In some cases, they are even re-inventing templates and infoboxes like

What could possibly the use of this page that is not already done by
any other existing and more-or-less maintained page?
