[JS] I agree. Back at the dawn of time, I favored large start pages with many
links because they were served and rendered more quickly. There was a big tax
on navigation. Obviously that technique was cumbersome, and as things got
faster all around I stopped using it.

[JS] Well, since this stuff is three or four levels deep the breadcrumbs are
actually useful.
My two solutions are to create start pages or just ignore the red letters.
Since I've been using the {{page>}} macro to build my link lists anyways,
setting up a start page (even if it is redundant) isn't much of a chore.
I do wish the intra-wiki window were resizable, but that's a different issue.
Thanks.
