Yeah, that caught me by surprise, too. It's a nice way of sort of
instantly generating hundreds of templates. And there's nothing
stopping someone making {{List of rivers of Africa}} with the content
{{Africa topic|List of rivers of}}.

Is it worth asking the developers for the ability to link to a
template with parameters? If nothing else it might be useful for
previewing etc.
