Topic lists link to articles on a particular subject. There are two types of topic lists on Wikipedia: outlines, and alphabetical article indexes. Outlines differ from categories found in Wikipedia's category system in that categories are usually limited to one level each in a tree, while an outline can be an entire tree, with many branches and many levels. This gives the benefit of having all the topics on a given subject in one place - this allows you to scroll down and read the whole tree, and every topic in that tree's subject. Indexes are single-level topic lists, with topics ordered alphabetically.
Topic lists allow for centralized management of all the links on a subject, as opposed to the decentralized approach of the category system.
I created the QRVS to get response quicker. You can always be a member. Just go to Quick Response Vandalism Squad. Or you can go to the link Curators to become a curator of the Eisenhower institute. You can also become a librarian of the Presidential Library. So join all you want.
Our goal is to make the community more fair and just towards all of its editors. An editor should not be denied any privilege on Wikipedia because of the morals, beliefs or personal preferences they display, unless by doing so they breach Wikipedia's policies.
Guys, don't delete this page. I am leaving Wikipedia on April 22, 2006. I have nothing on this encyclopedia left. So I am leaving. Someday, when a user sees this page they'll say "There goes General Eisenhower."
