The downside of distributions pages being top level pages is that they (and their child pages) cannot then be collected together automatically. I have added the Community/Distributions SubPage index to [[Supported systems]], to demonstrate a different approach. If the distro-specific material currently in [[Supported systems]] could all be updated into correct distro page, would the resulting [[Supported systems]] page be useful? --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 22:29, 29 June 2012 (EDT)

: Yes, temporarily; but please design [[Supported distributions]] to be transcluded in place of the sections mentioned above. Each supported distribution page can also be categorized as such and then collected in a Category page. The Special:PrefixIndex page is useful as an interim list, but suffers because it cannot be formatted, annotated, logo-ized, or reordered, such as by completeness and currency of Sugar support, like the proposed replacement. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 22:49, 29 June 2012 (EDT)
