Tim made the point that for a wiki with a very small set of pages (say, 100
pages) pages, Special:Allpages can be useful as it lets you get an overview
of the content of the wiki. That's obviously not too applicable to wikis
like the English Wikipedia, especially if it's creating a lot of
performance issues.
