Tip of the day

Wikipedia's alphabetical index of articles

Sometimes it is useful to look up a topic in the same way you would look it up in a paper book‍—‌using an index. Perhaps you are unsure of the precise name of what you are looking for, or maybe you are interested in a word root which has many applications, such as "self-". Or maybe you would just like to browse the index.

Wikipedia has an index of all of its articles. Here are 3 ways of accessing it:

  1. A–Z index
  2. Special:AllPages
  3. Special:Prefixindex

You can place these links on your user page or talk page (or both) for convenient access.
