per .  As navigational aids, there are advantages to both categories and lists.  Categories "update" themselves every time an article is categorized; on the other hand, a list can show, at a glance, the absence of an article, which is an important part of any project.  The Architecture of Afghanistan is no less notable than the Architecture of Argentina, but nobody has yet written about the former.  I admit that I think that little flags are overused, but they're not inappropriate in this case.  I'm not sure what the problem is with "alphabetical layout", or what the improvement would be, since that's what one would expect from an index
