The extension "Back and Forth"[1] written by the excellent but unfortunately
disappeared Rob Church, does the following: 'Adds "Next" and "Previous"
alphabetic paging links to the top of pages'. A screenshot can be found at
[1].
It has already been localised in the following 74 localisations: af, ang,
ar, as, ast, avk, bcl, be-tarask, bg, bn, br, cs, da, de, dsb, el, eo, ext,
fi, fr, frp, gag, gl, hi, hr, hsb, hu, hy, ia, io, is, it, ja, jv, kaa, km,
kn, ksh, lb, lt, ml, mr, nah, nds, nl, nn, no, nso, oc, pl, pms, ps, pt, ru,
sah, scn, sk, sr-ec, srn, stq, su, sv, ta, te, tg-cyrl, th, tr, uk, vec, vi,
vo, yue, zh-hans, zh-hant
There is also "Page After And Before"[2] by Jean-Lou Dupont, but I have no
idea how that behaves. I usually only install extensions from the MediaWiki
source code repository.
Requesting new extensions to be installed on the Wikimedia farm currently
has a backlog of about 3-6 months. There are about 10 extensions on the
list[3]. Since 19 May no extensions in the queue have been processed.
Cheers! Siebrand

Onderwerp: [Wikitech-l] Next/previous articles
I'm posting this question here as it's kind of specific to wikipedia/media
as well as it's a possible mediawiki-feature-request.
Would it be possible to add some kind of feature or extension which enables
users to either;
- get a list of the next/previous articles alphabetically (a short index) in
a separate box/window, or
- get a summary of the next articles at the bottom of current article (to
simulate a book)
There has been some suggestions to add a transcluded
Special:Prefixindex/{{PAGENAME}} to the stub-templates, but I have warned
them off with a possible hit in uncacheable pages.. Adding some
AJAX-functionality would also need some kind of uncacheable special-page
output.
I guess there's always a way to do a quick hack of this, but doing it in a
way that's cacheable and meaningful is another problem.
