Yes, anyone can add such pages and entries into the wiki. It is unreasonable, IMHO, to demand that volunteers that uploaded books to make an extreme extra effort to produce bulk downloading choices because the users are too lazy to pick and choose. Some of the uploaders depend on the download count to determine what items people like so that they can decide what to do next, what formats to support, etc. Bulk downloading throws all of that valuable feedback out the window. Downloading a 1000 books when you really only want or will ever read a few of them seems like a total waste.

Note that we are working on improving the ability to browse and find specific books using a database approach. But I have no idea when it will be done.

there is an old adage that beggars can't be choosy but I guess, in this modern, age this is no longer the case. Beggars are not only choosy but demanding.
