Changing Allpages to Prefindex doesn't accomplish this. Much
shorter lists than before are now returned for unusual prefixes,
such as "Kinematic". But I can still request a Prefindex for "A"
and get 350 (?) links listed. Apparently there is both a change
in behaviour (from Allpages to Prefindex) and a limit (to 350
links), and the desired result is achieved by the limit, not by
the changed behaviour.
A better solution would be to provide a limit of 200 or 350 links
in the output, but keeping the old behaviour of Allpages.
Especially, the ability to step *back* as well as forward in that
list can be very useful, when you're looking for alternative
spellings of a non-existing page name. After searching for
Kinematics, I need to step backwards to find Kinematic diagram.
