Instead of creating one more page (that needs maintaining), it would
make much more sense to make all the pages more easily findable.

That's true, but only from the user perspective.

The index eases a lot checking if there are pages that are better removed. I use it plenty of times for that, and proves to be of great value.

Although, in the case of the papercuts wiki, I chose rather to add it as a hidden comment. So the category isn't displayed to the user.

When the organization of the wiki is good, the index maps the site pretty clearly:
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts/Index>

When creating a new page I think it's a good practice to always copy the structure of a related one, as it's faster and prevents errors.

In the case of the papercuts wiki, it only involves three lines:
  <<Include(One Hundred Papercuts/Header)>>
  ## CategoryPapercuts
  ==  ==

So adding "## CategoryPapercuts" is effortless.
