What about ptwikibooks' usage of
https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:Lista_de_cap%C3%ADtulos/Posterior?act... It looks like that finds the current page name in a list of pages, then returns the next one in the list. I can see how that makes sense for a navigation template, I guess.
That is correct. This template is used to generate links to the "next" chapter of the books. See e.g. the blue bars on top and bottom of this chapter: https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/GIMP/Caixa_de_ferramentas
But does this really need to support up to a thousand (!) parameters?
Well, I remember at least two books which have more than 500 chapters: https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:Lista_de_cap%C3%ADtulos/Log%C3%ADstic... https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:Lista_de_cap%C3%ADtulos/Guia_do_Linux and our cookbook has ~2000 chapters: https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:Lista_de_cap%C3%ADtulos/Livro_de_rece...
Aren't these pages typically numbered?
Not really. The chapter names are usually "descriptive names" (see examples in the lists above), not just numbers.
