When you first go to Special:Allpages it should show a list of
alphabetical subsets of your wiki, like this:

...
Acrostic poem to Adachi clan
Adad to Addenbrooke's Hospital
Addenbrookes Hospital to Admiral Byrd
...

Click on one to see that set of up to 480 titles individually linked.

This is designed for wikis with many thousands of pages and so won't
look quite ideal for the wiki with a few tens of pages by default.

Only pages in the main (article) namespace are included in the list.

Gotcha... I was trying to use it to find pages in other namespaces.

There's support in the dev branch for selecting other namespaces; it
looks like it should be a pretty clean patch so I might slip it into 1.3.1.
