[Wikipedia-l] policy content and its navigation

 Hello all,

 is there a wiki policy about content and navigation into it?

 What I have in mind is that I feel this huge link lists a little bit
disturbing. Often they are intermixed with text (content).
How can someone print this? A few lines and then pages full of links?
Shouldn't there be a separation of content and navigation items?
(as content being true nodes like in a computer data tree)
An idea for this to handle would be (first idea):
 That a singularity of an item defines its type, that is class definition,
its description being its content.
 That a plurality of items (cannot describe type) describe an entry which
leads or actually is the navigation trough the collective of its
representative examples or its members.
Example:
 filmstar  describes what a filmstar is (if one wants to know this)
 filmstars collect the set of all described filmstars (according to
descripton what a filmstar is) and will likely contain a huge tree

 What do you think?

 mit freundlichen Gruessen
Stefan
