Add links to all indexes to the index list
The index list is at Contents/Indices.

Fix tables of contents
Many index pages have sections that don't show up on their tables of contents (TOCs).

These need to be fixed using a TOC template. works great for this.

The hunt for index pages that aren't called "Index of"
They hide in two ways:


 * 1) By not being included in Contents/Indices, or
 * 2) By not having "Index of" in their titles

When you find them, please add them to the list below.

Those marked renamed have been renamed. Those marked placed have been added to Contents/Indices.
