: For starters, [[Special:Allpages]] doesn't alphabetize last names. It only goes by whatever the first letter is, as far as I am aware. Second, [[Special:Allpages]] also lists redirect articles; A to Z doesn't. A to Z is mainly for articles with content, thus excluding redirects, talk pages, "shortcut" pages, and other non-content pages. Also, A to Z gives a far more accurate count on how many actual pages there are, and A to Z is, in my view, more easier to go through than [[Special:Allpages]], despite [[Special:Allpages]]' ability to search by namespace and title. -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 14:39, 16 October 2005 (EDT) | |||
