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.
