I thought it was already obvious. There's more but I think this should suffice for now.
 * 1) The three sorting options provided by the "Category Exhibition" feature: "Most visited", "Alphabetical", and "Recently edited". Y'all may or may not have already realized this, but the Simpsons Wiki and Gravity Falls Wiki method is incompatible with the "Category Exhibition" feature. Try it out for yourselves. When in "Category Exhibition" view, the A-Z template is powerless.
 * 2) I want information on pages starting with the letter X only. I don't want or need to see info on pages starting with letters Y-Z mixed up with pages starting with the letter X. Or if I want information on Category:E only, I want to see only information on Category:E; I do not want to see info on Category:F-Z included in it. Like RRabbit says, the other method works for the start page, but having it stop at a specific point doesn't work.
 * 3) My method automatically gives me an exact count of how many pages start with a specific letter. For example, I want information on how many pages start with the letter G. Category G automatically gives me an exact number of 71 pages. The other method will not do this. Check the Gravity Falls Wiki. Category:A-Z has a total of 290 pages. Press "G" on the template. It will still show a total of 290 pages because it includes pages starting with letters before and after the letter G.
