Querypage (and by extension classes that inherit it) shouldn't use LIMIT to do paging as this gets exponentially more expensive the further into the set one goes, it should use shomething like title >= x AND namespace => y like Special:Contributions does. This would allow raising the number of rows inserted into `querycache` for a given page without it bogging down the server(s).
1) A "nice to have" feature would be a "from=" parameter which should be supported in wiki syntax [[special:foo/bar]]. 2) See: Bug 4927: User interface should substitute "_" consistently with space (%20) in the from= parameter 3) trivial: The parameters should be supported in the user interface.
addition to comment #1 4) Support both "from=<pagename>" and "namespace=<namespace>" with wiki syntax [[special:foo/<namespace>:<pagename>]]

I submitted a patch for Bug 2415 which accomplishes paging without the use of LIMIT.
