Development notes
The portal topics pages are not uniform. They include various content formats:
 * navbox table
 * sometimes better than the corresponding navbox template
 * usually not better than the corresponding navbox template
 * forked the navbox template to match layout (e.g.: color scheme)
 * transcluded navbox template
 * Subject not extensive enough or otherwise unsuitable for an outline (e.g.:1980s)
 * dot separated links
 * Centered lists of dot separated links, with the first entry in each list being the parent topic
 * headings
 * improvised headings
 * unstructured (single-level) topics list
 * Multi-column bullet list
 * lists of &bull dot-separated links with improvised headings
 * Bulleted branches, with each branch title followed in the same entry by a colon and its offspring
 * Structured bullet lists
 * CSS table
 * Semi-colon headings with colon, followed by dot-separated list branch contents
 * Dot template delimited list items
 * Multiple templates
 * Multiple formats (like a list followed by one or more templates)

In general, the topics pages include
 * Topics
 * Topics arranged by subject

Convert to structured bullet list
 * That could then be combined with other such lists
 * Would need a structured list sorter

Helpful utilities (ideas)
 * List page title on a list page of user's choice
 * List page title on one of a set of pages
 * List page on one of a set of lists on the script's dedicated list page
