I completely understand what you’re describing with an index topic! This would have been really handy a few months ago when we were using a category to kind of organically create an FAQ. Despite showing my users how to filter the topic list by tags, share links to tag pages, etc., one of them ended up creating and managing an index on their own with a Word doc that linked to the topics. It was so interesting, because they organized the index Word doc the same way the topics were tagged.

Anyway, if an index topic as @alltiagocom describes is possible, I think it’s a great way to provide an alternative option for those stubborn users who simply have different preferences for viewing and finding information they’re looking for. Yes, they could just use the current tag filtering… but in the case of my community, some people will do extraordinary things when something that could be useful doesn’t exist.
