It's not about what benefits the Admin -- it's about what benefits the Users. Absolutely no one is going to go to "Special:Allpages" to look for anything unless they know it exists. Is there a category for it? No. Is there a way to add it to the Main page and call it "Search Contents" so that visitors and new users can go straight to it? No. Wikia is not currently set up to be as user-friendly as it can actually be. Users are supposed to flail around, finding their way with every bump in the dark, read instructions that are too often not written in plain language, and watch Web seminars (which I, personally, won't because I am not wired to sit and watch anyone, or listen to any voice, tell me how to do something). Some users leave discouraged by the obstacles. I come from a place of turning on the light and keeping it turned on. Why shouldn't there be a simple, common sense, easy-to-find way to locate all articles that exist in a wiki? Imagine going to a Library in search of information and being told that you have to jump through several hurdles before you can find what you need.
