Table of Contents schemes
There are various attempts to create a "Table of Contents" for Wikipedia. "Top-level" categories of this type are themselves added to Category:Categories. Other schemes are listed at Wikipedia:Category schemes. The pages and categories listed generally require updating, organizing, and consolidation.
