This is wrong. It used to list all pages, starting at Hill.  There
were links to the previous and next page of the large listing of
all pages.

Yes, so it seems if you compare to the immediately previous
version.  But that is the 3rd commit (by aaron) that day.  If you
go back to the older version (revision 36481, June 19), there is a
similar statement isset($par), which calls showChunk() rather than
showPrefixChunk().

The old implementation might have drawbacks, but the new version
is too different in function.
