--- Comment #5 from Tim Starling <[email protected]> ---
The hierarchical contents list feature is a cute nostalgic reference to the
idea of volumes of paper encyclopedias, but it is difficult to implement
efficiently. I think it's doubtful that anyone derives a significant benefit
from it on a wiki the size of en.wikipedia.org. We could just replace it with a
simple AlphabeticPager, like the one on Special:ListUsers.

That is, unless someone has an idea of how to make this truly efficient, like
O(1) in the total number of articles on the wiki? Surely we would set the bar
that high if we were introducing the feature today.
